About Shalisa

Shalisa Partee, MD, LCSW-C, works with people navigating concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, grief, trauma and abuse, and challenges with self-esteem and career direction.

Background and approach

She draws on five years of clinical experience in Maryland to support clients through mood disorders, addictions, parenting and sleeping or eating difficulties, as well as workplace issues and compassion fatigue. Her approach emphasizes clients' existing strengths and personal expertise about their own lives.

Shalisa uses evidence-based strategies to help clients build skills for coping with panic, bipolar symptoms, and life transitions while addressing relational concerns like communication problems, forgiveness, and isolation. She integrates attachment-based perspectives with cognitive behavioral techniques to explore patterns in relationships and thought processes and to develop practical, goal-focused changes.

She welcomes discussion about multicultural concerns, non-monogamous relationship dynamics, postpartum mood challenges, and somatic symptoms as part of a holistic care plan.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Shalisa uses attachment-based therapy to examine how early and current relationship patterns contribute to emotional responses and interpersonal difficulties; this approach can be helpful for people struggling with communication problems, intimacy concerns, and patterns of avoidance or anxiety. She also applies cognitive behavioral therapy, which helps identify and shift unhelpful thought patterns and develop practical coping strategies for symptoms like anxiety, panic attacks, and mood swings.

Deciding which approach feels best is part of the therapeutic process. The therapist works collaboratively with clients to assess needs, goals, and preferences and then tailors interventions so the chosen methods fit the person's experiences and desired outcomes.

Offering video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, online therapy adds flexibility for those balancing work, parenting, or other responsibilities. These options allow for regular, accessible contact with a licensed professional from different locations and can make it easier to maintain momentum between sessions while adapting care to each client's routine.
