Deleishia Haliburton-Collins, LMSW

Deleishia Haliburton-Collins is a licensed social worker in Michigan with 10 years of professional experience. She offers steady, practical support when life feels overwhelming and relationships feel strained. She speaks plain language and helps people take real steps toward clearer thinking and healthier patterns.

Her work focuses on relationship concerns, stress and anxiety, low self-esteem, anger, depression, and major life transitions. She also helps people cope with ADHD-related challenges and workplace strain. Midlife crisis is one of the areas she addresses as people reassess priorities or face big changes.

Deleishia uses a mix of approaches to match each person’s needs. She draws on client-centered work to follow the person’s lead and build on strengths. She pairs that with cognitive behavioral ideas to notice and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.

She also brings mindfulness and motivational interviewing into sessions to support clearer thinking and sustained change. Narrative ideas are used to help people reframe their story and see new options. The goal is practical progress rather than jargon-heavy therapy.

People who benefit tend to want direct, respectful guidance and a therapist who listens first. Deleishia invites you to name your priorities and work toward small, manageable changes. To begin you complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to availability.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy means the therapist follows the person's lead, listens without judgment, and helps highlight the client’s strengths to solve present problems. This approach is useful for anyone who needs a steady, supportive space to talk through decisions and emotions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-life experiments. It helps with anxiety, low mood, anger, and repetitive patterns by teaching practical techniques to change thinking and behavior.

Mindfulness Therapy offers simple practices to slow down strong reactions and improve focus. It can be helpful for stress, ADHD-related distractibility, and managing urges like anger or worry.

Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences, and will adjust the plan over time based on what helps most.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know the available formats. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow check-ins during breaks or between commitments. Some formats may make it simpler to do brief coaching-style sessions or longer therapeutic conversations, so double-check what is offered when you schedule.
