About Wallisa
Wallisa Connally is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Texas with 27 years of experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, parenting, mood changes, and issues like ADHD and compassion fatigue.
Her background includes long experience with military communities and with people navigating major life transitions. She uses clear, structured conversation to help people name what feels stuck and try different ways of responding. Sessions focus on practical steps as well as examining patterns that come from the family someone grew up in, when that is relevant.
Wallisa draws primarily on cognitive behavioral methods and solution-focused strategies. In practice this means identifying thought and behavior patterns, testing small changes, and setting short-term goals people can try between sessions. She also integrates conversational, human-centered ways of talking that value someone’s personal history.
People meet to work on specific problems such as recurring arguments, parenting strain, low mood, or trouble concentrating. She can help clarify priorities, practice communication skills, and build routines that reduce stress. Progress often comes from a mix of skill practice and looking at long-standing family of origin patterns.
Sessions are straightforward and interactive. Wallisa encourages clear goals and measurable steps. To begin, a short questionnaire and a first appointment are used to identify immediate needs and next steps.
How cognitive and solution-focused work online
CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing different behaviors to change feelings and outcomes. It is often used for anxiety, depression, anger, and stress by breaking problems into clear steps and practicing skills between sessions.Solution-Focused Therapy emphasizes small, achievable goals and quick strategies you can try right away. It helps when someone wants practical changes, such as improving communication, solving a specific parenting challenge, or reducing patterns that came from family of origin dynamics.
Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss your goals, preferences, and what has helped or not helped before. Together you decide whether to emphasize CBT, solution-focused work, or a mix of approaches and adjust as progress is made.
The practical benefits of working online include fitting sessions into a busy week and maintaining continuity during life changes.
