About Deleishia
Deleishia Haliburton-Collins is an LMSW licensed in Michigan with 10 years of professional experience. She works with adults who are dealing with relationship strain, anger, stress, anxiety, depression, and life transitions. She also supports people managing self-esteem, motivation, and ADHD-related challenges.
She frames clients as the experts on their own lives and draws on their strengths. Sessions focus on clear goals and practical steps rather than abstract labels. She uses straightforward conversation to identify what keeps someone stuck and what can be tried differently.
Her approach brings together a few different methods. Client-centered work means attention to the person’s perspective and priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at how thoughts and behaviors keep problems going and offers experiments to change them. Mindfulness methods teach simple ways to notice feelings before they escalate.
Deleishia also uses motivational interviewing to support readiness for change and narrative therapy to help people rewrite the stories that feed shame or resentment. In practice this can look like short exercises between sessions, role-play for difficult conversations, and checking small changes at the next meeting.
People who contact her often want clear, practical help with anger that shows up at work or at home. She helps people learn what triggers their irritability, how to express strong feelings without blowing up, and how to rebuild trust after heated moments. The focus is on usable tools and steady progress.
How her approaches translate to online work
Deleishia commonly uses Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Mindfulness Therapy in her sessions. Client-centered work means she listens for what matters most to the person and helps set priorities. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavioral changes to reduce anger and anxiety. Mindfulness offers brief attention exercises to notice feelings before they build and to reduce reactivity.Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. She will work with the client to decide which methods fit their goals and lifestyle. That could mean trying CBT experiments for workplace anger, adding mindfulness practices for stress, or using motivational questions to boost follow-through on changes.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, or avoid travel time. Practical benefits often include using in-the-moment examples from daily life and setting homework that can be tried between meetings to see what changes help.
