Kalisa Thomas

Kalisa Thomas is a licensed marriage and family therapist practicing in Florida and North Carolina with 23 years of clinical experience. She has worked extensively with at-risk youth, families, and young adults, addressing concerns such as anxiety, depression, life transitions, family conflict, and parenting challenges.

Her work includes supporting clients who have experienced physical, emotional, and sexual trauma, and assisting young adults as they begin careers and navigate early adult responsibilities.

Kalisa pursued counseling out of a desire to help others and has long been someone people feel comfortable confiding in. She believes that facing and overcoming life’s challenges builds resilience and self-confidence.

Her clinical approach combines cognitive behavioral therapy - CBT - with a humanistic, existential perspective. She uses CBT to help clients reframe unhelpful thinking patterns and make practical behavior changes, while the humanistic-existential view emphasizes understanding human fallibility and the possibility of choosing more fulfilling paths. Treatment conversations and plans are tailored to each person’s unique needs.

Known for a warm, engaging, and compassionate manner, Kalisa avoids stigmatizing labels and honors the courage it takes to seek help. She welcomes the opportunity to support clients on their journeys and to work collaboratively toward meaningful progress.
