About Malisa

Malisa Hepner is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, and family conflict. She supports individuals working on self-esteem, motivation, grief and life changes. Her style is direct and practical, aimed at getting to real problems and helpful next steps.

Malisa describes her approach as non-traditional and draws on personal healing from complex post-traumatic stress to inform her work. She uses that experience to shape frank conversations and realistic strategies.

Background and approach

Sessions focus on learning skills, improving communication, and rebuilding confidence. Her clinical toolbox includes attachment-based ideas, skills from Dialectical Behavior Therapy, emotion-focused methods, mindfulness, and solution-focused techniques. She mixes approaches to match a person’s needs rather than sticking to one model.

That means working on emotion regulation, repairing relational patterns, and setting concrete goals for change. With three years of professional experience as an LCSW - Licensed Clinical Social Worker - she practices in Oklahoma and provides therapy in English. People can choose live video, phone, chat, or text messaging for sessions.

The subscription format used for sessions can be canceled at any time. Malisa asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire to begin. From there she helps schedule sessions that fit each person’s rhythm and availability, and she partners with people to find practical ways forward.

Online support

How attachment ideas and skills work online

Attachment-based work looks at how early connection patterns shape current relationships and emotional responses. Online sessions use conversation and exercises to help people notice recurring patterns, practice new ways of relating, and build safer connections in daily life.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches practical emotion regulation and coping skills. Online DBT-style work focuses on grounding exercises, distress tolerance techniques, and building habits that reduce overwhelming reactions. Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people name and shift intense emotions that drive conflict or withdrawal, using guided conversation to open safer emotional responses.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. The therapist collaborates with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, needs, and preferences, and adjusts the plan as progress is made. That collaborative stance helps shape sessions that feel useful and realistic.

Online therapy offers flexible options like video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for full conversations and reading nonverbal cues, phone works well when bandwidth is limited, chat or text can be a shorter check-in or a way to reflect between sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week while using the approaches above in ways that match each person’s life.
