Deleishia Haliburton-Collins, LMSW - Therapist in Michigan

About Deleishia

Deleishia Haliburton-Collins is a licensed social worker in Michigan with ten years of experience. She focuses on relationship and family concerns, alongside common issues like stress, anxiety, anger, and low self-esteem. She works in a straightforward, respectful way and supports people who want clearer communication and more confidence in daily life.

She starts by listening closely and treating each person as the expert on their own life. That means sessions center on the client’s goals and real challenges, not on jargon or one-size-fits-all plans.

Background and approach

Deleishia combines practical tools with deeper conversation to help people handle changes and hurt feelings. Her work draws on several therapeutic styles, including client-centered methods that follow the client’s lead, cognitive behavioral ideas that change unhelpful thinking patterns, and mindfulness practices to reduce reactivity. She also uses motivational interviewing and narrative approaches when those fit the situation.

Clients can expect a calm, supportive tone and clear options for coping skills and problem-solving. Deleishia helps people notice patterns in relationships, set healthier boundaries, and rebuild self-worth after setbacks. The focus is on small, steady steps that add up to real change.

Sessions are available through video, phone, live chat, or text messaging, so conversations can fit into busy family schedules. If someone wants to begin, they complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a time that works for them.

Approaches that translate to online care

Client-centered therapy focuses on following the client’s lead and building on strengths. It helps when someone needs a supportive space to make sense of difficult feelings and decide what matters most.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts affect feelings and actions. It uses practical steps and small experiments to change unhelpful patterns, which is useful for anxiety, stress, and mood concerns.

Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and increase calm. These techniques pair well with other methods and can be used between sessions to manage strong emotions.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and preferences, then try methods that fit. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are expected as the work goes on.

Online options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These formats let sessions fit around family schedules and busy days. They also make it easier to keep momentum between meetings with short messages or chat-based check-ins.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Mindfulness Therapy

Attention training: noticing thoughts and physical feelings as they arrive without being carried off by them. Much of it is practice you do yourself, so guidance over video or audio works much as it would in person.
