About Wallisa
Wallisa Connally is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Texas with 27 years of experience helping people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, parenting challenges, depression, and mood concerns. She has a background that includes military service and long experience with service members and their families. Sessions are practical and conversational.
Her work often focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and patterns that keep problems going. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy to help people try new ways of responding to difficult situations. That means looking at the thinking and actions that maintain anxiety, low mood, anger, or relationship conflict and testing small changes in daily life.
She also brings experience with adoption and foster care issues, blended family dynamics, codependency, communication problems, divorce and separation, and family of origin concerns. Additional areas include compassion fatigue, ADHD, infidelity, isolation, jealousy, and multicultural issues. Her background with veterans and military families informs how she understands role changes and stress in those settings.
Sessions tend to be straightforward and goal-oriented. Conversations include practical strategies, behavioral experiments, and skills to manage emotions and improve communication. Homework or short practice tasks may be suggested to reinforce what is tried in session.
People considering therapy are guided to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the platform. The LCSW credential stands for Licensed Clinical Social Worker and indicates professional social work licensure in Texas.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Wallisa uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot the thoughts and actions that keep problems going and to practice concrete alternatives. CBT sessions focus on short, structured steps such as tracking moods, testing new behaviors, and rehearsing communication skills. Solution-Focused Therapy emphasizes setting clear, small goals and noticing what changes when those steps are tried. She treats choosing an approach as a collaborative task. Together with each client she reviews goals, preferences, and what has helped or not helped before. That conversation guides whether CBT, solution-focused techniques, or a mix of methods will be tried first. The profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. It also supports using screen-shared worksheets, mood tracking tools, and written follow-ups so exercises can continue between meetings. Licensed professionals adapt formats and homework to what a client needs and what fits their schedule.Areas of expertise
