About Delishia
She uses client-centered methods that put the person's goals first and blends cognitive behavioral ideas to reframe unhelpful thoughts. Mindfulness practices are offered to reduce stress and improve attention to the present moment. These tools are useful for people facing anxiety, depression, grief, or the sense of emptiness that can come with a midlife crisis.
Her background includes a Master of Social Work from Howard University and 15 years of clinical experience. Much of that time was spent working in hospice settings where she supported people through major life transitions and end-of-life concerns. That work shaped her interest in meaning, aging, and caregiver stress.
Sessions focus on identifying strengths, clarifying values, and building small, usable strategies for coping. She also addresses relationship issues, parenting stress, addiction concerns, and sleep problems when they affect daily functioning. The goal is steady, practical change rather than quick fixes.
Delishia works with adults who want to feel more grounded and purposeful. She invites people to start with a short matching questionnaire and schedule a session that fits their needs. Her approach is collaborative and paced to each person's comfort level.

How Delishia’s approaches translate to online work
Delishia uses client-centered therapy to center each session on the person’s goals and experience, offering space to talk and to reflect on what matters most. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps identify and change unhelpful thought patterns, which can reduce anxiety and improve mood through step-by-step exercises.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She will discuss what feels most useful and adjust methods based on a person’s goals, values, and daily life. The process is collaborative and paced to individual needs rather than one-size-fits-all.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people practice skills they learn in sessions in the context of their day-to-day life, then bring observations back to therapy for discussion.
