About Malisha

Malisha Webber is an Illinois licensed clinical professional counselor (LCPC) with 11 years of experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma or abuse, depression, and major life changes. Her approach is direct and compassionate, aimed at making the first steps feel manageable for someone worried or overwhelmed.

She listens with respect and sensitivity, then tailors conversations and plans to the person in front of her. Sessions focus on practical skills people can use between meetings. That might include tools for managing strong emotions, improving communication, or coping with loss and change.

Therapists often mix approaches to fit a person’s needs, and Malisha draws from Trauma-Focused Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy among others. She uses these methods to help people notice unhelpful patterns, build healthier habits, and make values-based choices.

Her experience includes helping people work through attachment and abandonment concerns, caregiver stress, commitment and control issues, and the fallout of separation or domestic violence. She also supports work on guilt, shame, emptiness, and finding a sense of purpose.

People who choose her can expect clear goals, practical strategies, and a warm presence during hard conversations. To begin, a short matching process and scheduling step will connect a person to the next available session.

How therapy approaches translate to online care

Trauma-Focused Therapy centers on addressing the impact of traumatic events and painful memories. It helps people process those memories, reduce their hold on daily life, and build coping skills to manage flashbacks or intense reactions.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, teaches people to notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them and to take actions that match their values. It is often useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with the person to decide which methods fit best based on goals, needs, and preferences. Sessions can blend elements from different approaches to meet changing concerns.

Confirm the specific session options before booking, as formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow check-ins during breaks or from a quiet place. Some approaches lend themselves to practice exercises and homework that carry over well into daily routines, which can be convenient when working remotely.
