About Malisa

Malisa Hepner offers straightforward support for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, relationship strain, or big life changes. She introduces a direct, honest style and aims to make sessions feel practical and focused. Malisa is a licensed clinical social worker - LCSW - practicing in Oklahoma and works with adults seeking clearer ways forward.

She draws on her own recovery from complex post-traumatic stress and uses that experience to inform how she talks about healing.

Background and approach

Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented. She mixes skills practice with reflective conversation so people leave with things to try between meetings. Malisa uses several approaches to meet different needs.

She leans on attachment ideas to help people understand relationship patterns. She uses elements of dialectical behavior therapy to teach emotion regulation skills. Mindfulness practices and solution-focused techniques are used to create short-term steps and long-term changes.

People often come for help with communication problems, control issues, divorce and separation, guilt and shame, isolation, or questions about life purpose. Malisa also supports those working through forgiveness, grief, and rebuilding self-love and self-esteem. Her style is direct but compassionate, with an emphasis on practical tools and honest feedback.

She encourages collaboration, and shapes each plan to the person in front of her. For parents or adults juggling many demands, she aims to make therapy fit into busy lives.

Online support

Approaches that guide online sessions

Attachment-Based Therapy helps people see how early bonds shape current relationships and reactions, and it can make communication and closeness easier to work on. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, focuses on teaching concrete skills for handling intense emotions, managing stress, and improving relationships. Emotionally-Focused Therapy zeroes in on feelings in the moment and helps people and individuals create new ways of responding in emotional situations.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before. Together they pick techniques and a plan that feel manageable and relevant to daily life.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video sessions let people work face-to-face from another location. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit a quick check-in during a break. Live chat and text messaging allow brief notes or ongoing support between sessions. These options help people fit therapy into busy routines and different comfort levels.
