Malisa Komolthiti , LMFT

Malisa Komolthiti is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) based in Indiana. She uses straightforward, collaborative care to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, and relationship concerns. She speaks English and Thai and brings three years of clinical experience to sessions.

Her work centers on approaches that encourage practical change and clearer connection. She often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients notice unhelpful patterns and try new ways of responding. Mindfulness and Client-Centered methods are woven into sessions to slow things down and center the person's own goals.

Malisa helps people talk through issues related to identity and LGBT concerns, body image, attachment and commitment worries, and the effects of abandonment or adoption histories. She also supports those managing chronic illness, pain, or patterns of codependency and control. Sessions aim to be flexible and focused on what the individual wants to address in daily life.

Her style is respectful and nonjudgmental. Sessions are tailored to each person's needs and paced to fit their comfort level. She encourages small, manageable steps that build toward clearer values and better functioning.

People who prefer working in English or Thai can find language options. Therapy is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to suit different schedules and communication preferences.

How Malisa's Approaches Work Online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people get clearer about what matters to them and take small actions that reflect those values. It focuses on building psychological flexibility so clients can act toward what they care about, even when emotions are difficult. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, and many everyday struggles. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes an empathetic, nonjudgmental conversation where the client leads the pace and topics; this creates room for new insight and self-directed change.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences, and then suggest methods to try. This collaborative process aims to match techniques to the client’s needs rather than forcing a single method.

Online therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation when schedules allow. Phone sessions can fit shorter breaks or lower bandwidth situations. Live chat and text messaging let people check in between appointments or use written reflection when that feels easier. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into busy lives while keeping the focus on progress and practical steps.
