Background and approach
In sessions she listens first and then helps people set their own goals. She uses practical conversations to identify patterns and try new ways of coping. She works with clients to notice thinking that makes problems worse and to build small, steady changes.
Delissa draws on several approaches to meet individual needs, including client-centered work, mindfulness practices, and techniques that focus on changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She tailors the plan to the person sitting in front of her and adjusts as progress is made.
She earned a Bachelor of Science in Religious Education from Mississippi College and a Master of Science in Education with an emphasis on counseling from the University of Southern Mississippi. Delissa puts those educational roots together with long professional experience to guide people toward clearer choices and more resilient daily routines.
Approaches and online care that fit your life
Client-centered therapy focuses on understanding the person first. The therapist listens without judgment and follows the client's lead to help clarify goals and values. This approach is useful when someone needs a safe space to sort through feelings and decide what matters most.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect. It helps people spot unhelpful thinking and try new behaviors to reduce anxiety, depression, or stress. CBT works well for someone who wants practical tools and short-term strategies.
Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they will choose methods and adjust them over time so the plan fits current needs.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls are good for a face-to-face feel. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier during a busy day. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for quick check-ins or ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to schedule care that fits around work, caregiving, or other responsibilities.
