About Deleishia

Deleishia Haliburton-Collins is a Michigan-licensed LMSW with a decade of professional experience supporting people through relationship challenges, mood concerns, and shifts in motivation. She draws on a breadth of therapeutic approaches to help clients build confidence, manage anger, and navigate stressors that affect daily life.

Background and approach

Deleishia emphasizes each person's strengths and treats clients as the experts of their own stories, partnering with them to set practical goals and foster resilience. Her work frequently addresses relationship dynamics, family concerns, self-esteem, and coping with life changes, and she also offers coaching-style support for motivation and attention-related challenges such as ADHD.

She aims to create a respectful, person-centered space where exploration and growth happen at the client's pace. Prospective clients in Michigan who are looking for a collaborative, strengths-based clinician will find a pragmatic and empathetic approach in her practice.

Approaches that guide online sessions and practical benefits



Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing patterns of thinking and behavior that contribute to emotional distress; it is commonly used for anxiety, depression, stress, and for developing concrete coping skills. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening, empathy, and building on a person's strengths so the individual feels supported while exploring goals and decisions. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and gentle self-regulation practices that can reduce reactivity and improve stress management.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Deleishia collaborates with each client to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts strategies over time to find what feels most helpful and practical.

Online sessions provide flexibility for people balancing work, family, and other obligations. Video calls and phone sessions allow for face-to-face conversation, while live chat and text-based messaging can offer ongoing support between appointments and different ways to express thoughts. These options make scheduling more accessible and help clients maintain continuity of care regardless of location within Michigan.
