More about Kalisa

- LMFT
As a licensed therapist in Florida, I bring over two decades of compassionate, culturally responsive mental health experience. My practice centers on supporting individuals through complex life transitions, interpersonal challenges, and emotional healing. I specialize in addressing depression, anxiety, family dynamics, and workplace stress, with a deep commitment to understanding each client's unique journey.
My approach is rooted in empowerment, focusing on self-love, effective communication, and breaking cycles of isolation. I provide a supportive space for clients navigating diverse experiences, including young adult challenges, multicultural concerns, and healing from past traumas. With expertise in women's issues, military veterans' experiences, and relationship dynamics, I strive to help clients develop resilience, self-understanding, and meaningful personal growth.
Drawing from evidence-based practices, I offer a warm, affirming therapeutic environment that honors individual strengths and promotes holistic well-being. My goal is to walk alongside you, offering guidance and support as you navigate life's most challenging moments.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

Talking to Kalisa is like talking to a really good friend, the conversation flows smoothly and she’s supportive!
wonderful
Kalisa is caring, compassionate and kind, but will tell me what I need to hear. She has really helped me manage my triggers and is always reminding myself to put myself first and to take care of myself. She's like a therapist, mom and best friend all rolled in to one! I'm so grateful we were matched.
she has done a good job
I have had a positive experience with Kalisa . She has been supportive as far as what my needs are. I hope to continue working with her on my concerns and issues
Kalisa has been a lifesaver for me, especially during the pandemic. She always encourages me to take good care of myself, which I need to be reminded about. Now, I encourage other women in the same way. She has helped me tremendously with dealing with my less-than-healthy work environment as well. Kalisa is a kind, compassionate and caring person, and I'm very glad and grateful I got her as my counselor.
Kalisa is very understanding. She can relate to my issues and offers her expertise to assist. I highly recommend her.
Kalissa is very good! She understands me and my situation perfectly. She’s able to give me advice, and tell me exactly what I need to hear when I need her the most.
Working with Kalisa has been great thus far. She offers practical and actionable advice which I really respond to, but she's also empathetic and easy to talk with.
Kalisa has been amazing since the start. She is very thorough, engaging and sincere. It really makes a difference when your counselor actually makes it a point to remember prior conversations and builds off of that, it makes the experience more personable.
Kalisa is amazing! So sweet and thoughtful, like talking to an old friend. Felt very comfortable on our first session and cannot wait for future sessions.
She’s great, doesn’t make it feel like a therapy consult. More like talking to a friend.
