About Malisha
Malisha Webber is an Illinois Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) with 11 years of clinical experience. She works with stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, depression, and people coping with life changes. Malisha helps clients who are carrying guilt and shame as part of those concerns.
She focuses on practical conversations and clear strategies. Sessions tend to include exploring what feels most stuck, noticing patterns, and trying small, doable changes between meetings. She names feelings and behaviors plainly so people can see what to work on next.
Her approach draws on several evidence-informed methods, including cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness, acceptance and commitment ideas, and attachment-based perspectives. That mix is used to address how thoughts, bodily reactions, and relationships keep difficult feelings going. Malisha also uses skills from dialectical behavior therapy when emotions feel overwhelming.
In a first meeting she will listen for where guilt or shame show up and what those feelings lead someone to do. From there she and the client map a short-term plan with practical steps. Sessions often include homework exercises to practice new ways of responding.
She offers sessions in English and works from Illinois as an LCPC. To begin, people follow the site's matching process and schedule an initial session. Costs vary with location and services use a cancellable subscription model.
How therapeutic approaches map to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages noticing thoughts without getting stuck in them and choosing actions that align with personal values. It can help when guilt or shame lead to avoidance or a sense of being controlled by negative thoughts. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks down the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and tests out new, more helpful perspectives through small experiments and practice. That can be useful for anxiety, depression, and self-blame. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape expectations and reactions in close relationships; it can clarify why abandonment or trust worries keep reappearing.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to see which methods fit their goals and preferences. That may mean trying an acceptance focus one month and more behavioral practice the next, with both client and therapist checking what helps.

Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, shorten check-ins when schedules are tight, and allow the use of mindfulness or behavioral practice in daily settings. Therapists can suggest homework that fits into everyday routines and adapt exercises to suit how someone prefers to connect.
