About Delissa
Delissa Castleberry is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) licensed in Mississippi with more than 20 years of professional experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, grief, trauma, addictions, parenting concerns, depression, and relationship or family issues. Her background includes a master’s degree in education with an emphasis on counseling from the University of Southern Mississippi and an earlier bachelor’s in religious education from Mississippi College.
Her approach centers on practical conversation and clear goals. She encourages clients to set their own objectives and then practices skills to reach them. She often focuses on boundaries and how to clarify who you are and who you are not. She also addresses how beliefs shape behavior and looks at patterns that keep people stuck.
Sessions mix listening with direct feedback. She uses client-centered techniques to follow what matters most to the client, cognitive behavioral tools to spot and change unhelpful thoughts, and mindfulness practices to build present-moment awareness. Narrative and solution-focused ideas help reframe problems and identify small, manageable steps forward.
Delissa describes her counseling as faith-informed and integrates Christian perspectives when clients want that included. She aims to be respectful and straightforward while helping clients practice healthier habits and boundaries. If you are trying to settle the past, cope with life changes, or find clearer ways to manage parenting and family stress, she works on concrete actions you can use between sessions.
Her experience includes long-term counseling roles and work with common life stressors across adult populations. People who prefer direct guidance and practical exercises may find this style helpful when addressing grief, addiction concerns, or ongoing anxiety.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and working online
Delissa uses client-centered therapy, which means sessions begin with listening and following the concerns you bring. This approach helps identify what matters most to you and shapes the pace and topics of sessions accordingly.She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, a practical method that looks at thoughts and behaviors you can change. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and patterns that contribute to stress or substance use. Mindfulness practices are incorporated as well to help build moment-to-moment awareness and reduce reactivity.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will discuss what methods fit your goals and preferences and adjust the plan as needed. That process is collaborative and focused on small, achievable steps that feel useful in daily life.
The biography does not list specific online session formats. Please confirm available session types before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counseling into weekdays, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Licensed professionals often adapt techniques like CBT and mindfulness to an online setting so you can practice skills between sessions and track progress over time.
