About Wallisa
Wallisa Connally is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) based in Texas with 27 years of experience. She uses practical, goal-focused conversations to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship strain. Her manner is warm and interactive, and she focuses on treating each person with respect and compassion.
Wallisa draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy to shape sessions. She helps people notice unhelpful thought patterns and try small, realistic changes to improve mood and daily functioning.
Background and approach
Sessions are tailored to each person’s needs and goals rather than a one-size-fits-all plan. Her work addresses a wide range of concerns including parenting and family issues, intimacy and communication problems, anger, self-esteem, coping with life transitions, and compassion fatigue. Additional focus areas include adoption and foster care, blended family issues, codependency, infidelity, and multicultural concerns.
She also supports people dealing with ADHD and mood disorders. Wallisa’s background includes long experience with military-connected individuals and veteran-related issues, which informs her understanding of related stresses. She avoids stigmatizing labels and builds a collaborative plan that fits the client’s situation.
Sessions are offered in English and she accepts international clients. People can work with her by choosing the Start Therapy button, completing a short matching questionnaire, and scheduling sessions according to availability.
Using CBT and Solution-Focused Work Online
Wallisa often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify thoughts and behaviors that contribute to anxiety or low mood. CBT sessions typically involve noticing patterns, trying small behavioral experiments, and practicing new ways of thinking to reduce symptoms and improve daily routines.She also uses Solution-Focused Therapy to set clear, short-term goals and find practical steps that move a person toward those goals. This approach looks for strengths and past successes to build quick momentum when dealing with relationship strains, parenting challenges, or life transitions.
Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. The therapist will work together with the person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Plans are adjusted over time based on what is helping and what is not.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for longer sessions and when visual connection helps the conversation. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter, focused check-in is needed. Live chat and text work well for brief updates, coaching-style support, or when messaging fits into a busy schedule. These options increase flexibility and make it easier to fit therapy into daily life.
