About Delishia
Delishia Williams is an Iowa-licensed independent social worker (LISW) with 15 years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, life changes, compassion fatigue, addictions, trauma and related concerns including life purpose and caregiving strain.
She uses clear, practical conversation to help people name what feels off and figure out the next small steps. Sessions focus on what a person wants to change, how daily life gets in the way, and simple ways to test new habits and thoughts. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and mindfulness are tools she draws on to make thoughts and behaviors easier to manage.
Her background includes a Master of Social Work from Howard University and nearly seven years working with hospice clients, family members, and healthcare staff. That experience shaped her attention to life transitions, aging issues, grief, and end-of-life concerns. It also informed her interest in meaning and purpose across the lifespan.
In practice she often blends Client-Centered methods with CBT and mindfulness techniques. She may also use Gottman Method ideas when talking about communication and relationship patterns. Sessions typically aim to clarify goals, practice skills between meetings, and track small changes over time.
Delishia works with adults on parenting stress, career shifts, midlife concerns, ADHD-related challenges, and body image or self-love topics. She speaks English and sees people in Iowa. To start, readers should complete the site's matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How her approaches are used in online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the person. It helps people feel understood and decide their own goals during sessions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It offers concrete exercises and experiments to reduce anxiety, improve sleep, and change unhelpful habits.
Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple ways to notice the present moment and reduce reactivity. It can help manage grief, stress, and compassion fatigue by training attention and breathing techniques.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels useful, then try methods that fit the client's needs. This is a collaborative process and can change as people make progress.
The profile does not list specific online session formats, so confirm available options before you book. Practically, online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Therapists generally adapt exercises, homework, and communication to the format a client chooses so the work can continue between meetings.
