Deleishia Haliburton-Collins , LMSW

Deleishia Haliburton-Collins is a licensed social worker in Michigan with ten years of professional experience. She centers sessions on the person in the room and helps people rebuild confidence, manage stress, and navigate relationship difficulties. Her approach is warm and straightforward, aimed at practical change rather than jargon-filled conversations.

She uses Client-Centered Therapy to follow what matters most to each person. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps unpack unhelpful thinking and create small experiments that change how people feel. Mindfulness techniques are woven into sessions to help with anxiety, stress, and focus challenges like ADHD.

Deleishia also draws on Motivational Interviewing to support people who want to make life changes. Narrative Therapy is used to reframe personal stories that keep someone stuck. Together these approaches create short-term tools and longer-term shifts in how people relate to themselves and others.

Common concerns she addresses include relationships, self-esteem, anger, depression, coping with life changes, and workplace stress. She helps with specific issues such as attachment questions, blended family dynamics, infidelity, jealousy, and boundaries. Women’s issues are among the areas she lists as a focus.

Sessions are offered in English and delivered through video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Deleishia works collaboratively to set goals and choose techniques that fit each person’s daily life and rhythm.

Approaches and online care that fit your life

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person's goals and priorities. The therapist listens closely and follows what matters most, helping people make changes at their own pace. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts affect feelings and behavior and offers practical exercises to test new ways of thinking and acting. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing strategies to ease anxiety and improve focus, which can help with stress and ADHD-related challenges.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose techniques that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That may mean trying CBT exercises for a few sessions, adding mindfulness practices, or using client-centered listening to guide next steps. Decisions are made together as progress is tracked.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy fit a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that helps. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers no camera. Live chat and messaging are useful for quick check-ins, coaching-style support, or continuing work between longer sessions. These options give flexibility so therapy can happen around work, family, and daily responsibilities.
