About Deleishia
Deleishia Haliburton-Collins is a Licensed Master Social Worker who has spent a decade helping people navigate stress, anxiety, and relationship concerns. She practices from Michigan and focuses on practical steps that people can use in daily life. Deleishia emphasizes clients' strengths and helps them build confidence and motivation.
She listens first and follows the lead of the person in front of her. Conversations center on the client’s story and goals.
How Deleishia works
Deleishia mixes talk therapy with hands-on strategies to manage mood, anger, and life transitions. Her work includes support for people dealing with self-esteem, depression, workplace strains, and the challenges of blended family dynamics. She also addresses communication problems, codependency, infidelity, jealousy, and issues around control.
ADHD concerns are part of her focus, approached with clear goal-setting and coping tools. Approaches used in sessions include client-centered methods, cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness exercises, motivational interviewing, and narrative work. These are applied in straightforward ways - identifying patterns, testing small changes, and building self-awareness.
Clients can expect practical steps alongside deeper conversation. Deleishia aims to help people reclaim a sense of agency and make concrete changes. She frames therapy as a collaborative effort where the client’s perspective guides the pace.
The goal is clearer thinking, better coping, and stronger self-regard.

Approaches that guide online sessions
Client-centered therapy focuses on the client's perspective and lived experience. In practice this means the therapist listens closely, reflects what she hears, and helps people name their priorities so change can start where it matters most.Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact. Sessions use simple exercises to test unhelpful thoughts and try small behavior changes that reduce anxiety, anger, or depressive patterns.
Mindfulness therapy brings attention to the present moment through brief practices and grounding techniques. These tools help with stress regulation, reducing reactivity, and improving focus during daily life.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which approaches fit their goals and preferences. This is an ongoing conversation rather than a fixed prescription, and adjustments are made as progress unfolds.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and skill coaching. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging are useful for quick reflections, between-session check-ins, or when typing feels easier than talking. These options add flexibility for people juggling work, family, or other commitments.
