About Delissa
Delissa Castleberry is a licensed professional counselor in Mississippi with more than 20 years of experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, and addictions. Her work often includes support for parenting challenges and relationship concerns. She emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion in sessions.
Delissa encourages clients to set clear boundaries and to practice new ways of relating to others. She often frames feelings as information rather than facts to help people make different choices. Sessions are shaped to match each person's situation and goals rather than using a one-size-fits-all plan.
Her approach is rooted in holistic Christian based counseling and she describes her role as a guide. Clients set the goals and she helps them move toward those goals. This can include settling past issues, finding hope, and building healthier patterns.
Delissa holds a Master of Science in Education with an emphasis on counseling from the University of Southern Mississippi. She also earned a Bachelor degree in Religious Education from Mississippi College. Her LPC credential reflects her professional standing in Mississippi.
In the room she balances challenge and support. She may ask direct questions and offer practical tasks to practice between sessions. The focus is on real-life changes that fit each person's values and daily commitments.
How client-centered and practical approaches work online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person's own experience. The therapist provides empathy, acceptance, and support while the client leads the pace and topics. This approach helps when someone needs a respectful space to sort feelings and discover their next steps.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact. It offers clear tools and exercises to change patterns that fuel anxiety, depression, or problematic behaviors. CBT often involves small practices or homework to try between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose methods that match goals and preferences. That might mean combining client-centered listening with CBT tools or bringing in mindfulness practices for stress and grounding.
Confirm the available online session options before booking, as the biography does not list specific formats. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Some people also find it simpler to use phone or video when bandwidth or camera use is a concern. The therapist will discuss what works best for timing and practical needs during the first conversations.
