About Deleishia
Deleishia Haliburton-Collins is a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) in Michigan with ten years of professional experience. She helps adults work through relationship strain, anxiety, depression, stress, anger, self-esteem struggles, coping with life changes, and ADHD-related challenges. She also offers coaching around motivation and confidence.
Her approach treats the client as the expert of their own story. She listens for strengths and practical options rather than delivering one-size-fits-all advice. Sessions focus on clear steps you can try between meetings, and on noticing patterns that keep problems repeating.
Deleishia draws from Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She uses Mindfulness techniques to build attention and calm, and Narrative Therapy to look at the stories people tell about themselves. Motivational Interviewing is used when someone wants help finding the drive to make change.
She works with common family and relationship concerns such as blended family issues, communication problems, codependency, infidelity, jealousy, and forgiveness. She also addresses workplace stress, midlife challenges, and women’s issues identified in her practice.
Her sessions aim to be straightforward and practical. Expect conversational work that identifies small experiments to try between sessions. To begin, complete the site matching questionnaire and schedule a first appointment so you can see whether her approach fits your goals.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely and treating the person as the expert of their own life. It helps people who need a respectful space to clarify goals and make decisions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets unhelpful thoughts and behaviors with practical exercises and short experiments to change daily patterns. Mindfulness Therapy trains attention and present-moment skills to reduce reactivity and ease stress. Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss your goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together you’ll try approaches and adjust them as needed so work in sessions fits your life and feels useful. Confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking, as the biography does not list specific options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. These practical benefits can help therapy stay consistent while you practice the strategies you and the therapist agree on.Areas of focus
