About Deleishia
Deleishia Haliburton-Collins is a Licensed Master Social Worker with ten years of clinical experience in Michigan. She focuses on practical, down-to-earth help for people facing relationship strain, low self-esteem, anxiety, depression, and the stress of life changes. She starts by listening to each person's story and meeting them where they are.
Her style centers on hearing the narrative a person brings and using that story as a place to make change.
Background and approach
She draws on Narrative Therapy to help people reframe unhelpful themes. She also uses Client-Centered Therapy to build a respectful, accepting space where clients set the pace and goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is part of her approach when thoughts and behaviors get in the way.
She helps people spot patterns, test new ideas, and practice small shifts that add up. Mindfulness techniques are used to calm the body and steady attention in tense moments. She helps with a wide range of concerns, including attachment issues, blended family stress, codependency, communication problems, infidelity, jealousy, anger, and workplace strain.
ADHD and coaching-focused conversations are also within her focus areas for practical support and organization strategies. Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented, aimed at clearer thinking and doable next steps. Deleishia emphasizes collaboration, helping each person find what works for their life and values.

How her approaches translate to online work
Deleishia combines Narrative Therapy with Client-Centered Therapy to help people tell their stories in new ways and focus on what they want to change. Narrative Therapy looks at the themes and meanings in a person’s story so they can separate themselves from problem patterns. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes respectful listening and allowing clients to guide goals and timing.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy when practical change is the goal. CBT helps identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and then tries small experiments to test alternatives. That approach can be useful for anxiety, anger, low mood, and patterns that interfere with daily life.
Choosing the best approach is a shared process. She will listen to your concerns and try different methods to see what fits your needs and preferences. Together you can decide whether to focus on story work, skill-building, mindfulness practices, or a mix of these methods.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video visits allow face-to-face conversation; phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and messaging support brief check-ins, coaching-style exchanges, and follow-up between sessions.
