About Delishia
Delishia Williams is a licensed independent social worker who centers sessions on the person in front of her. She draws on client-centered care to build a respectful, accepting space where people can talk about stress, grief, anxiety, depression, addictions, and other struggles. Delishia speaks plainly and listens closely to what matters most to each person she meets.
She earned a Master of Social Work from Howard University and spent nearly seven years working with a hospice provider. That role focused on end-of-life transitions and supporting people facing loss, as well as staff in medical and human services roles. Those experiences shaped her interest in meaning, aging, and the ways people adapt through change.
Her work often blends client-centered principles with practical tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness practices. She also uses the Gottman Method to address relationship concerns, adapting approaches to what each person prefers. Sessions emphasize strengths, grounding in the present moment, and small steps toward clearer thinking and calmer days.
Delishia helps with a wide range of concerns including coping with life changes, compassion fatigue, parenting strain, career stress, bipolar disorder, ADHD, body image, and grief related to serious illness or loss. She also supports people working through attachment and abandonment issues, guilt and shame, and questions about life purpose.
Clients can expect a warm, nonjudgmental tone and practical conversation about what can help now. The focus is on collaboration - figuring out goals together and trying approaches that fit each person’s life and needs.
How these approaches translate to online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and meeting each person where they are. In online sessions this means conversations that follow your priorities, with the therapist reflecting your experience and helping you name what matters most. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at how thoughts and actions affect mood and behavior, and it brings practical exercises to work on between sessions for things like anxiety, sleep, or depression.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and everyday demands, then choose or blend methods that fit. That collaborative process helps shape session tasks and homework so they feel useful rather than overwhelming.
If you are considering online therapy, check the current session formats before booking so you know what’s offered. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. They also let people use mindfulness exercises and cognitive tools in the surroundings where they live, which can make practice more applicable to daily life.
