About Deleishia
Deleishia Haliburton-Collins is a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) practicing in Michigan with 10 years of professional experience. She focuses on relationship concerns, anger, self-esteem, anxiety, stress, depression, ADHD, and life transitions. Deleishia describes clients as the experts on their own stories and works alongside them to build on existing strengths.
She uses straightforward conversation to identify what feels most urgent. Sessions often begin by naming patterns that keep clients stuck, such as control issues, communication problems, or resentment. From there she and the client pick practical next steps to try between meetings.
Her approach draws on several methods. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thinking and change behavior. Client-Centered Therapy keeps the focus on the person’s goals and experience. Mindfulness techniques are used to bring attention to reactions that feed anger or anxiety.
Deleishia also works with issues that often sit under surface conflicts, such as attachment wounds, codependency, infidelity, blended family concerns, and workplace stress. She offers coaching-style supports when clients want clear, goal-oriented work on motivation and follow-through.
People who come to her often want practical tools for handling stronger emotions, clearer ways to communicate, and steps to rebuild self-esteem. To begin, clients complete a short match questionnaire and schedule an initial session to set goals together.
How sessions work
How her therapeutic approaches work online
Deleishia commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy when working with strong emotions like anger. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce reactivity and stress. Client-Centered Therapy keeps the conversation grounded in the client's priorities and lived experience, helping build practical goals that feel relevant.She also uses Mindfulness practices to help people notice early physical and mental signs of anger before they escalate. These techniques are short and focused, useful for learning to pause and respond rather than react.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist and client decide together which methods fit the person's goals, preferences, and daily life. That collaborative process can shift over time as new challenges or progress appear.
The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow focused check-ins between appointments. Sessions can be scheduled to match work breaks or quieter parts of the day, and techniques practiced in-session can be applied immediately to everyday situations.
