Delissa Castleberry is a Licensed Professional Counselor with more than 20 years of experience in Mississippi. She focuses on practical steps people can take when life feels overwhelming. She listens, asks direct questions, and helps clients set goals they choose for themselves.

Delissa emphasizes healthy boundaries and helps clients recognize how feelings influence behavior.

Delissa blends Christian-based counseling with evidence-informed techniques. She draws from client-centered work to keep sessions focused on the person in front of her. She uses cognitive behavioral ideas to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try new responses.

Sessions are tailored to each person’s needs. Delissa invites clients to set their own goals and then helps them practice skills to reach those goals. She also uses narrative and solution-focused approaches to reframe past stories and move toward practical change.

Her background includes a bachelor’s degree in Religious Education from Mississippi College and a master’s degree in Education with an emphasis on counseling from the University of Southern Mississippi. She holds the LPC credential and brings two decades of clinical experience to her work.

Therapeutic approaches and online sessions that fit your life

Delissa often uses Client-Centered Therapy, which focuses on listening, understanding your perspective, and letting you set the pace and goals of work together. This approach helps when people need a respectful space to sort through feelings and decide what matters most to them.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. CBT helps people learn concrete tools to reduce anxiety, shift unhelpful thinking, and change behaviors that keep problems stuck.

Finding the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels helpful. Together they’ll try methods that match the issue at hand and adjust as needed based on progress and feedback.

Online sessions make it easier to fit counseling into a busy life. Video calls let people have a more personal conversation, phone sessions can work when bandwidth or camera use is limited, and live chat or text-based messaging are useful for shorter check-ins or ongoing support between sessions. These options allow flexibility so people can keep therapy consistent even when schedules change.
