About Deleishia
Deleishia Haliburton-Collins is a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) practicing in Michigan with 10 years of professional experience. She supports adults dealing with relationship strain, low self-esteem, stress, anxiety, anger, depression, ADHD, and life changes. She also focuses on issues such as attachment, blended family concerns, communication problems, and workplace stress.
Her style centers on treating the client as the expert on their life. She listens to what matters most and helps people identify strengths they already have. Conversations are straightforward and goal-focused. Practical steps and clearer thinking are emphasized over jargon.
Therapy sessions often mix conversational work with evidence-based techniques. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) may be used to spot unhelpful thought patterns and test new behaviors. Mindfulness approaches can help with stress and anxiety by teaching simple ways to manage attention and calm high-arousal moments.
Narrative and client-centered strategies are used to reframe personal stories and clarify values. Motivational interviewing can boost willingness to try new habits when motivation is stuck. These methods are combined to suit the problem at hand rather than follow a fixed script.
Deleishia helps people who are facing loyalty conflicts, partnership changes, and blended household adjustments by focusing on clear communication and practical problem solving. She encourages small, workable changes and tracks progress together. To start, readers are asked to use the site steps to match and schedule an initial session.
How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions
Client-centered work focuses on the client's priorities and perspective. In practice this means the therapist listens, reflects, and helps the client identify strengths and next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. Online CBT-style work often involves setting specific tasks, tracking thoughts, and reviewing outcomes between sessions. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to lower stress and reduce reactivity. These practices are brief and can be used during a session or as short daily exercises.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose methods that fit their goals and daily life. Together they review what helps, adjust techniques, and set manageable tasks so progress is measurable and relevant.
Confirm the session formats before booking since they are not specified here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Some methods translate well to remote work because they rely on conversation, short exercises, and homework that can be tracked between appointments. Ask about session length and the available format during the matching process so arrangements match your needs.
