Delissa Castleberry

Delissa Castleberry is an MS Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Mississippi with more than 20 years of professional experience. She works with adults facing common life stresses such as anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, addictions, and parenting challenges. She also lists life purpose among her areas of focus. Delissa encourages clients to examine their beliefs and behaviors. She uses conversation and practical exercises to help people set healthier boundaries and address past hurts. She often talks about how feelings and facts can differ and helps people practice new responses to old patterns. Her approach combines client-centered work with cognitive behavioral strategies and mindfulness practices. She also draws on narrative and solution-focused ideas to help people reshape unhelpful stories and set clear, achievable goals. Sessions involve a mix of listening, reflective questions, and concrete tasks to try between meetings. Delissa trained in religious education at Mississippi College and completed a master of science in education with an emphasis on counseling at the University of Southern Mississippi. She brings two decades of experience to sessions and aims to help people identify goals they choose for themselves. People who come to her are often dealing with relationship strain, parenting stress, caregiving burdens, or a sense of being stuck after a life change. She asks direct questions and challenges unhelpful habits while also offering practical steps to move forward. If someone is looking for focused, goal-oriented conversation about what comes next, she may be a fit.

How her therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so people can name what matters to them. Online sessions let the therapist and client use conversation to uncover values, goals, and what feels most important right now.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. In an online setting this often means identifying unhelpful thinking patterns, practicing new responses, and assigning short exercises to try between meetings.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus. Delivered remotely, these techniques can be demonstrated in session and then practiced during the week to build steadier responses to stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Delissa will discuss these methods with each person and decide together which fits best given their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative process helps shape session tasks and the pace of change.

The practical benefit of online sessions is fitting counseling into everyday life. Confirm the exact session formats and scheduling options before booking. Many people find remote sessions easier to fit around work, caregiving, or travel, and the format can also allow shorter check-ins or regular weekly meetings without extra commuting.
