Shalisa Partee , MD, LCSW-C

Shalisa Partee is a Maryland-licensed clinician who brings a compassionate, strengths-based approach to therapy. With three years of professional experience, she focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, low motivation, self-esteem and confidence concerns, career challenges, and depression. She works from the belief that each person is the expert of their own story and already carries resources that can be used to overcome life’s obstacles.

Holding the credentials MD and LCSW-C, she combines medical knowledge with clinical social work training - MD indicates medical training and LCSW-C denotes a licensed clinical social worker credential - to inform a holistic approach to care. Her practice centers on supporting clients as they take the often-difficult first steps toward a more fulfilling and balanced life. She emphasizes practical skills and emotional insight to help clients build resilience and clearer direction.

Shalisa aims to create a collaborative space where clients explore strengths, set achievable goals, and develop strategies for coping with day-to-day challenges. She offers steady support during moments of transition and encourages the courage it takes to seek meaningful change.

Attachment and CBT Approaches for Online Care

Shalisa Partee draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to help clients understand how early relationships and emotional bonds shape current ways of relating to others and managing stress. This approach can be useful for addressing difficulties in close relationships, feelings of insecurity, and patterns that repeat across relationships.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to offer practical tools for identifying unhelpful thoughts and changing behaviors that contribute to anxiety, low mood, or problematic coping. CBT is often applied to stress management, mood concerns, and building more effective daily routines.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work together. Shalisa collaborates with clients to explore which methods fit their needs, goals, and personal preferences, and she adjusts strategies as progress unfolds.

Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging makes it easier to access consistent care around busy schedules and life demands. These options provide flexibility for different communication styles and allow clients to engage in therapy from convenient locations, supporting ongoing progress without sacrificing accessibility.
