About Malisha
Malisha Webber supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, trauma and abuse, depression, and major life changes. She greets each person with respect and sensitivity. Her goal is to create a clear, practical path forward that fits the person's situation.

Background and approach
Her style is direct and compassionate. She tailors conversations and plans to what each person needs. Sessions focus on skills you can use day to day, together with space to talk about painful events and feelings.
Malisha draws on several therapeutic approaches. She uses cognitive behavioral techniques to spot and change unhelpful thoughts. Mindfulness exercises help people tolerate stress and calm strong emotions.
Attachment-based ideas guide work on closeness, trust, and patterns in relationships. She also integrates acceptance and commitment and elements of dialectical behavior therapy when those fit a person's goals. That mix lets her address topics like abandonment, communication problems, guilt, isolation, and caregiver stress.
The focus is on practical changes that improve everyday life.
Online approaches that fit your day-to-day life
Malisha uses several evidence-informed approaches that translate well to online work. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, helps people notice patterns of thought and behavior that increase distress and then practice different responses. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress that come from unhelpful thinking patterns. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple exercises to reduce reactivity and increase calm awareness of thoughts, feelings, and bodily sensations. These practices are helpful for emotional regulation and coping with intense feelings.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That means trying practical tools, reviewing what helps, and adjusting the plan as needed so sessions stay relevant and effective for everyday life.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video works well for deeper conversation and skill practice, while phone calls can be easier when strong bandwidth is not available. Live chat and messaging are useful for brief check-ins, ongoing skill coaching, or when someone needs a shorter way to connect between sessions. These options offer flexibility to fit therapy around work, caregiving, and other daily demands.
