About Delores
Dr. Delores Liston is a Clinical Social Worker (LCSW, CSW) licensed in Georgia with 10 years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, substance use concerns, relationship and family strain, grief, career pressures, and other life changes.

How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Dr. Liston uses client-centered conversations to ground therapy. That means sessions start with what the person most wants to address and shape the work around their priorities. Client-centered work helps with relationship strain, career stress, and general life changes.She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills to teach concrete coping tools for strong emotions and overwhelming moments. DBT techniques can help with anxiety, substance-related urges, and managing intense reactions. Mindfulness therapy is used to build present-moment awareness and reduce rumination; it supports sleep, stress, and emotional regulation.
Choosing the right mix of approaches is collaborative. The therapist will talk through goals and try different techniques to see what fits. Decisions about methods are based on the person’s needs, preferences, and progress rather than assumed ahead of time.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce time spent traveling to appointments. Licensed professionals can adapt DBT skills training, mindfulness exercises, and solution-focused planning to work in an online setting so sessions focus on practical steps you can use between meetings.
