About Deleishia
Deleishia Haliburton-Collins is a licensed social worker in Michigan with 10 years of professional experience. She focuses on relationship concerns, self esteem, anxiety, depression, and life transitions. She approaches work with people as a partner who listens and helps them find strengths they already have.
She uses a client-centered stance that keeps the person's goals in view. Sessions often involve talking through current patterns, identifying small changes, and practicing new ways of responding. Cognitive behavioral methods are used to spot unhelpful thoughts and try alternative ways of thinking and acting.
Mindfulness tools are introduced to help with stress, worry, and anger so people can notice reactions before they escalate. Motivational interviewing helps when someone feels stuck and wants help finding real next steps. Narrative techniques are used to look at the stories people tell about themselves and choose different meanings.
Her style is straightforward and respectful. She encourages practical steps and honest reflection rather than long lectures. People who prefer clear suggestions mixed with listening often find this approach useful.
Deleishia supports those working through relationship conflict, codependency, attachment concerns, blended family challenges, and workplace stress. She also helps people dealing with infidelity, jealousy, control issues, and recovery of self-worth. She invites people to start at their own pace and to build toward lasting, manageable change.
Approaches that translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person's goals. In online sessions this means the therapist reflects what she hears and helps clients set practical, achievable goals for daily life.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. Online CBT often includes brief exercises, thought records, and homework to practice between meetings.
Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention exercises to lower reactivity and manage stress. These short practices can be introduced during a session and repeated at home to help with anxiety and anger.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to pick strategies that fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That might mean using one method at first and trying others later as priorities change.
Session logistics should fit into everyday life. Because the biography does not list specific formats, confirm available session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to schedule appointments around work or family demands, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people practice skills in real-life settings between meetings.
