Wallisa Connally , LCSW

Wallisa Connally is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) in Texas with 27 years of experience. She uses practical, goal-focused approaches to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship struggles. Her style is warm and direct, aimed at making change feel possible even when life feels overwhelming.

Wallisa draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy to create clear, manageable steps. She helps people identify patterns of thinking, try small experiments, and build new habits that reduce distress. Conversations are collaborative and rooted in everyday choices rather than labels.

Her background includes long experience with parenting challenges, family conflict, and intimacy-related concerns. She also supports people dealing with grief, anger, low self-esteem, compassion fatigue, and life transitions like separation or divorce. Additional focus areas include adoption and foster care, blended family issues, communication problems, and multicultural concerns.

Wallisa's work reflects many years of helping people tied to military life and veteran issues, though she treats a broad range of mood and relationship concerns. She speaks English and works remotely with people in Texas and beyond. Sessions can be scheduled in formats that fit a busy life.

People who choose to work with her can expect a respectful, nonjudgmental space and concrete tools they can use between meetings. She assists clients in setting goals, tracking progress, and adjusting plans so therapy stays useful and oriented toward real-world change.

How evidence-based approaches work in online therapy

Wallisa uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy in online work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression. Solution-Focused Therapy emphasizes small, practical changes and building on what already works to improve relationships, parenting, and daily coping.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. She works with each person to choose methods that match their goals and preferences and adjusts plans as progress unfolds. This collaborative process helps make sessions feel relevant and useful from the start.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people use visual cues and work through practices together, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging are useful for brief check-ins, coaching-style support, or fitting a session into a busy day. These options make it simpler to keep momentum and use therapy tools between meetings.
