About Valisa
Valisa Murray, LPC, centers her practice on practical approaches that help people manage relationships and work-related wellbeing. She emphasizes clear tools and real-life skills to address intimacy, communication, and workplace strain. Her style is empathetic and nonjudgmental, aimed at making therapy a manageable step toward change.
With 15 years of experience, she brings straightforward techniques drawn from cognitive behavioral therapy and solution-focused methods. These approaches are blended to match each person's situation, so sessions focus on usable strategies rather than only talk. She also integrates relationship-focused work to support partnership concerns and pre-marital preparation.
Clients often come for help with communication problems, blended family challenges, infidelity, and questions about sexuality or self-love. Valisa also supports people facing career strain, compassion fatigue, and life transitions. She frames work and wellbeing as connected parts of a person’s life to help create balance and direction.
Her practice includes coaching, life skills workshops, and speaking engagements alongside counseling. Valisa describes therapy as a collaborative process where concrete tools are introduced early and practiced between sessions. That emphasis helps people notice small shifts that build into bigger changes.
Based in Michigan, she offers services in English and does not accept international clients. The intake process begins with a short questionnaire to match needs, followed by scheduling based on availability.
How her approaches shape online relationship and work support
Valisa uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice unhelpful thinking and try practical behavior changes. CBT is useful for anxiety, stress, and improving how someone responds to workplace challenges and relationship triggers.The Gottman Method is applied to relationship work to strengthen communication habits and reduce repeated conflicts. It focuses on skills couples can practice in daily life to improve connection and handle disagreements more effectively.
Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on small, achievable steps and on what is working now. This method suits people who want quick, concrete progress on goals like clearer communication or better work-life balance.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with clients to determine which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That choice can change over time as progress is made and priorities shift.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session formats with the therapist before booking. Practical benefits of online work include easier scheduling around work commitments, shorter check-ins when needed, and reducing travel time so sessions fit into a busy day. Online options can also make it simpler to maintain consistent follow-up and practice new skills between meetings.
