About Delishia
Delishia Williams is an Iowa-licensed clinical social worker with 15 years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, grief, self-esteem struggles, anger, and other life changes. Delishia also supports people dealing with addiction, compassion fatigue, relationship and family concerns, and challenges like depression or bipolar symptoms.
She uses plain talk and practical steps in sessions. Conversations focus on what is happening now and what changes are possible. She draws on Client-Centered Therapy to listen and reflect, and on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify thought and behavior patterns that keep problems active.
Delishia spent nearly seven years working in hospice care. That role shaped how she thinks about meaning, aging, and caregiving stress. Those experiences inform how she helps people facing loss, life transitions, and end-of-life concerns.
Mindfulness is part of her approach. She teaches simple practices to notice feelings and reduce reactivity. The Gottman Method is used when relationship communication and conflict patterns come up in sessions.
Sessions aim to build practical coping skills, clearer communication, and better day-to-day routines. People commonly work on sleep, parenting strain, career stress, anger, and boundaries. She encourages steady, manageable steps rather than big overhauls.
How Delishia uses practical approaches online
Delishia often uses Client-Centered Therapy to create a respectful, listening-first space where the person’s goals guide each session. This approach focuses on understanding the person’s perspective and building plans that feel workable in daily life.She also applies Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at how thoughts and behaviors keep problems going. CBT involves identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and trying small behavior changes to reduce anger, anxiety, and sleep problems.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals and preferences. That conversation can include which skills to practice, how often to check progress, and whether to use mindfulness or more structured CBT tools.
If you want online sessions, confirm the exact session formats before booking. The practical benefit of remote sessions is that they can fit into busy days, reduce travel time, and make it possible to check in during a break at work or between commitments. Some formats also let people use audio only for a shorter check-in or avoid video when that suits them, so confirm which options are offered when you schedule.
