Delissa Castleberry, LPC

Delissa Castleberry is a Licensed Professional Counselor with more than 20 years of experience. She practices in Mississippi and focuses on helping people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, and addiction. She emphasizes practical steps you can use day to day and encourages clients to set their own goals for change.

Her style is warm and direct. She talks plainly about boundaries and how they shape relationships and identity. She helps people sort past hurts, notice unhelpful beliefs, and practice healthier responses. Delissa blends counseling with a Christian perspective when clients want that frame of reference.

Delissa draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to spot thinking patterns that keep problems going. She also uses client-centered listening so people feel heard while they work through hard topics. Mindfulness and narrative approaches are used to help clients notice the present moment and tell different stories about their lives.

Sessions focus on clear, doable steps. That might mean learning new coping skills for anxiety, setting small boundaries at home, or planning recovery-linked behaviors for addiction. She supports people as they test those steps between sessions and adjust plans when needed.

Her training includes a Master of Science in Education with an emphasis on counseling from the University of Southern Mississippi. Delissa aims to meet each person with respect and compassion while helping them move toward the life they want.

How her approaches translate to online care

Delissa uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice patterns of thought and try new behaviors. That approach breaks concerns into smaller steps, which works well in remote sessions through focused exercises and between-session tasks.

She also practices Client-Centered Therapy, which emphasizes listening and supporting each person where they are. Online meetings, phone conversations, or messaging let clients tell their story at their own pace while the therapist reflects and guides the process.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Delissa collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. She checks in about what is helping and adjusts the plan together as progress unfolds.

Online formats offer flexibility for busy schedules. Video calls approximate in-person meetings, phone sessions work well when video is not possible, live chat can support shorter check-ins, and text-based messaging lets people check in between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a workday, manage limited bandwidth, or have a shorter touchpoint during a break.
