Compassionate, practical therapy for life challenges

About Malisa

Malisa Komolthiti is a licensed marriage and family therapist in Indiana who focuses on practical, person-centered care. She draws from several evidence-informed approaches to help people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship strain, and mood concerns.

Background and approach

Malisa speaks English and Thai and aims to create a respectful, sensitive space for each person she sees. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify values and take meaningful steps even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is part of her work when identifying thought patterns and testing new, healthier behaviors. Client-centered techniques guide conversations so clients feel heard and understood rather than judged.

Malisa adapts sessions to fit each person’s needs, tailoring goals and strategies rather than following a fixed formula. She addresses issues such as abandonment, attachment concerns, codependency, body image, chronic illness impact, and communication problems.

She also works with people navigating adoption or foster care histories and those facing aging-related concerns. Sessions can include practical exercises, mindfulness practices, and focused conversations about decisions and relationships.

Her approach emphasizes small, concrete steps that build confidence over time. With three years of professional experience as an LMFT, Malisa aims to support people who want clearer direction and steadier coping skills.

People who choose her therapy often want a straightforward, compassionate approach. She helps them set realistic goals, try new strategies between sessions, and track progress in ways that fit their lives.

How therapy approaches translate to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people name what matters to them and take small steps toward those values even when strong feelings arise. It often suits stress, anxiety, and ongoing mood concerns by focusing on action over perfect control. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical experiments to test new behaviors; it is useful for anxiety, depression, and habits related to addictions. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and creating an accepting space so clients can explore their concerns and decide what changes they want to make.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what has worked or not worked in the past. Together they choose techniques and a pace that fit the person’s life and make adjustments as progress is tracked.

Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers practical flexibility. Video is helpful when face-to-face interaction matters, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging can fit a brief check-in or busy schedules. These options make it easier to keep regular appointments, fit therapy into work or family time, and try different ways of working to see what feels most effective.
