About Delissa
Delissa Castleberry is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Mississippi with 20 years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, addictions, parenting pressures, and related life changes. Her practice also lists concerns such as guilt and shame, forgiveness, codependency, and isolation.
Delissa asks direct questions and encourages clear boundaries. She helps people name feelings and notice that feelings are not always facts. Conversations are guided by a Christian perspective when clients want that woven into therapy.
Her approach focuses on practical steps. She challenges clients to develop and practice healthy limits in relationships. She also supports people as they work through past hurts and aim to move forward without erasing the past.
Sessions use methods drawn from client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness, narrative therapy, and solution-focused work. That means sessions may include exploring personal stories, testing unhelpful thoughts, practicing present-moment attention, and setting small achievable goals.
Delissa trained in religious education and later earned a master’s degree in education with an emphasis on counseling. She combines those backgrounds to offer a therapy style that includes conversations about belief, values, and practical behavior change. The focus is on what a client wants to change and the concrete steps to get there.
Approaches used in online sessions
Delissa draws from client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy in her work. Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening and following the client’s lead, which helps people feel understood and identify what they want to change. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying and testing unhelpful thoughts and building practical skills to change behavior and mood.She also uses narrative and mindfulness techniques as needed. Narrative work helps people reframe the stories they tell about themselves, which can be useful for guilt or shame. Mindfulness practices teach attention to the present moment and simple ways to notice thoughts without immediately acting on them.
Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each client to choose methods that match their goals and preferences. Together they set small steps and review what helps and what needs adjusting.
Confirm the current session options before booking, as formats are not detailed here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It can also let people use audio-only options when video would be difficult, or schedule sessions that better match work or caregiving routines.
