About Delissa

Delissa Castleberry is a licensed professional counselor in Mississippi with two decades of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people navigate stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, addictions, parenting challenges, and related life transitions.

Background and approach

She encourages clients to examine beliefs and behaviors, practice healthier boundaries, and distinguish feelings from facts as part of moving toward greater hope and emotional balance. Her work blends practical talk therapy with compassion and candor.

She adapts conversations and treatment plans to each person's needs and sees the client as the architect of their goals while offering guidance along the way. Delissa emphasizes respectful, sensitive care and supports clients in addressing past hurts, improving communication, and building coping skills for everyday life.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Access

Delissa draws from cognitive behavioral therapy and client-centered therapy to structure online work. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and address patterns that contribute to stress and addictions. Client-centered therapy prioritizes the client's experience, offering empathetic listening and support while clients define their own goals and pace of change.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Delissa approaches that decision collaboratively. She will discuss how different methods might fit a person's needs, goals, and preferences and adapt the plan as progress is made, aiming to match techniques to what the client finds most helpful.

Online therapy with Delissa is available through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, which offers flexibility for busy schedules and different communication styles. These remote options make it easier to access consistent care from Mississippi without traveling, while allowing clients to continue work on coping skills, boundary setting, and life changes in a format that fits their routines.
