About Valisa
Valisa Murray is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) in Michigan with 15 years of clinical experience. She works with people facing relationship stress, intimacy concerns, self-esteem struggles, parenting challenges, career questions, and major life changes. She also addresses compassion fatigue and provides coaching-style support when that fits a person's goals.
She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alongside the Gottman Method and Solution-Focused Therapy to create practical steps clients can try between sessions. Sessions focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts, shifting everyday habits, and practicing clear communication skills. That means concrete tools rather than abstract conversation alone.
Valisa also offers support around blended family issues, communication problems, infidelity, sexuality, polyamory and non-monogamous relationships, and workplace concerns. She provides Christian counseling for people who want faith to be part of their conversations and helps those who have experienced rejection from faith communities.
Her approach emphasizes short-term, skill-based work when appropriate. She runs workshops and offers life-skills coaching in addition to counseling. People can expect goal-focused sessions that aim to produce practical changes they can test in daily life.
Services are provided in English and based in Michigan. New clients begin by completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first session through the online therapy options button. The practice uses a subscription billing model that can be canceled at any time.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Valisa uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot thought patterns that keep them stuck and to test small behavior changes. CBT sessions are practical and homework-focused, useful for anxiety, low self-esteem, and building new routines.The Gottman Method is used to strengthen communication and reduce damaging conflict cycles. It focuses on specific interaction skills and exercises that couples or partners can practice between sessions to improve day-to-day connection.
Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on clear, short-term goals and identifying current strengths that can be applied right away. That approach is helpful when someone wants fast, goal-oriented work around a specific issue like workplace problems or a life transition.
Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk through goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't worked before. Together they decide which methods to emphasize and adjust the plan as progress is measured.
Confirm session formats before booking since the profile does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, allow brief check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Those practical benefits often help people keep momentum while trying new skills discussed in sessions.
