About Delissa
Delissa Castleberry is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Mississippi with two decades of clinical experience. She focuses on practical help for common life struggles like stress, anxiety, depression, grief, addictions, and parenting concerns. She emphasizes clear boundaries and helps people sort through painful past events so they can move forward.
Her style is respectful and direct, with attention to each person's values and beliefs. She practices a holistic counseling approach influenced by Christian values and aims to meet clients where they are.
Background and approach
Sessions are tailored to each person's needs, and she works collaboratively to set goals you choose. Delissa often encourages small, actionable steps to build healthier patterns and stronger boundaries. Her work includes addressing complicated emotions such as guilt, shame, and isolation, and practical family-related struggles like blended family issues, caregiver stress, and communication problems.
She also supports people facing life transitions, divorce or separation, and aging concerns. Delissa uses a mix of evidence-based methods to match the problem at hand. Clients can expect a counselor who balances compassion with honest feedback.
She guides conversations while allowing clients to lead on what they want to change. Delissa believes most behavior follows deeply held beliefs, so she helps people examine those beliefs and choose different actions when needed. Her education includes a bachelor degree in Religious Education and a master degree in Education with emphasis on counseling.
That training underpins her practical, values-aware approach to therapy.
Approaches that guide online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person without judgment. It helps people feel heard and encourages self-directed growth for issues like stress or life changes.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches practical skills to change unhelpful thinking and behavior, which is useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with difficult emotions.
Finding the best approach is part of the work together. The therapist will help you try methods and adjust them based on your goals and preferences. That collaboration makes it easier to build a plan that fits your life and values.
Online therapy offers flexible options like video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging. These formats let people fit sessions into busy schedules and keep continuity during life transitions. Licensed professionals can use these options to deliver regular support and practical homework between sessions, making it easier to practice skills in daily life.
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.
