Background and approach
Sessions focus on clear goals that the client sets, with the counselor acting as a guide rather than providing ready-made answers. Her training includes a master of science in education with an emphasis on counseling from the University of Southern Mississippi. Delissa blends psychological work with a holistic Christian perspective when clients want that included.
She aims to treat people with sensitivity while bringing honest, compassionate feedback to the conversation. In therapy she uses conversational techniques drawn from client-centered work, cognitive behavioral ideas, mindfulness, narrative approaches, and solution-focused tools. Those methods are used to reduce symptoms, improve daily coping, and clarify values and choices.
Sessions tend to be practical and action-oriented while leaving room for emotion and reflection. Delissa works with concerns such as family and relationship problems, parenting stress, self-esteem issues, compassion fatigue, and life transitions. She supports people who are trying to settle past hurts and find hope, helping them set achievable goals and practice new habits over time.

04Online support
Approaches that shape online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and accepting the client's perspective. It helps people feel heard and build insight so they can choose their next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts influence feelings and actions and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. These approaches can help with anxiety, depression, stress, and coping with life changes.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to pick techniques that match the client's goals and preferences. Sessions may blend listening, skill practice, and short exercises so the plan fits the person's life and produces noticeable steps forward.
Online therapy offers flexibility in how people connect. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth or camera use is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging support shorter check-ins, ongoing reflection, or a way to keep momentum between longer sessions. These options make it simpler to fit counseling into a busy schedule and to maintain continuity of support.
