Valisa Murray is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who focuses on relationship and intimacy concerns. She welcomes people who feel stuck, are facing a major life change, or want clearer direction in their relationships and sense of purpose. She uses straightforward, practical methods to help people change patterns that no longer work.
Sessions often include skills you can try between meetings, clear goals, and short-term strategies for managing stress and improving communication.
Background and approach
Her practice emphasizes couples work, pre-marital preparation, and sexual and intimacy issues. She draws on the Gottman Method to help partners improve connection and resolve conflicts. Valisa also helps with blended family challenges, infidelity, and complex communication problems.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, appears in her approach when clients need help with unhelpful thoughts and behaviors that increase anxiety or low self-esteem. Solution-Focused Therapy is used to set small, achievable goals and build momentum toward change. Valisa has worked in counseling for 15 years in Michigan.
She also offers coaching, life skills workshops, and speaks publicly on personal development topics. Her style aims to be caring and direct, helping people leave sessions with something practical to try. She provides sessions in English and does not take international clients.

04Online support
Online approaches for relationships and practical change
Valisa uses evidence-informed methods that fit well to online formats. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is useful for anxiety, low self-esteem, and stress that affects daily life. The Gottman Method centers on improving communication and rebuilding trust between partners, with exercises that couples can practice between sessions. Solution-Focused Therapy emphasizes clear, short-term goals and small steps that build forward momentum.Choosing the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't worked before. Together they decide which methods to try first and adjust the plan over time based on what is helpful.
Online therapy offers flexibility in how people connect. Video calls support face-to-face interaction for couples work and skills practice. Phone sessions can be easier when less bandwidth is available or when a shorter check-in fits a busy day. Live chat and text-based messaging allow brief between-session touchpoints and ongoing coaching-style support. These options help people fit therapy into work, parenting, and other routines.
