About Malisa

Malisa Komolthiti is a licensed marriage and family therapist who uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy as a central part of her work. She offers calm, straightforward support for people facing stress, anxiety, addiction concerns, depression, relationship struggles, and LGBT issues. Sessions are offered in English and Thai for people living in Indiana.

She keeps things practical in the room. Malisa listens first, then helps clients put words to what they are feeling.

Background and approach

She draws on approaches like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness, and client-centered work to shape steps clients can try between sessions. Her practice focuses on understanding how emotions connect to behaviors and choices. That focus helps with problems like communication breakdowns, codependency, attachment concerns, commitment worries, and body image struggles.

She also supports people navigating chronic illness, adoption and foster care history, and challenges linked to aging. With three years of professional experience, Malisa aims to meet each person where they are. She adapts the conversation and the plan to individual needs instead of using a one-size-fits-all script.

People can expect a mix of reflective listening, gentle challenges, and simple skills to practice outside sessions. Malisa emphasizes respect and sensitivity in every session. She invites people to take small, manageable steps toward clearer thinking and steadier emotion.

The approach is collaborative and paced to what each person feels ready to try.

Online support

Emotion-focused care and online flexibility

Emotionally-Focused Therapy looks at how feelings shape interactions and decisions, helping people notice patterns and try new ways of responding to close relationships and personal stress. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) uses gentle acceptance of difficult thoughts alongside actions that match personal values, which can be helpful for anxiety, depression, and commitment concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like worry and low mood.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to pick methods that fit their needs, goals, and comfort. Together they may blend EFT, ACT, and CBT tools so sessions feel personally useful rather than academic.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care more accessible. Video is useful for deeper conversations and nonverbal cues, phone sessions are a lower-bandwidth option, live chat can fit short check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between appointments. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to continue work between sessions.
