About Delishia
Delishia Williams is an Iowa-licensed independent social worker (LISW) with 15 years of practice. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, relationship and family concerns, and guilt and shame. She also addresses parenting, caregiving stress, addictions, ADHD, and life transitions.
She uses Client-Centered Therapy to follow what matters most to the person in the room. That means asking questions, reflecting what is said, and helping someone name what feels most important. She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to look at thoughts and behaviors that keep painful feelings going. Mindfulness practices are used to bring attention to the present moment and to reduce overwhelm.
Her background includes a Master of Social Work from Howard University and nearly seven years working in hospice care. That work involved supporting people through intense life transitions and helping caregivers and medical staff manage stress. Those experiences shaped her focus on meaning, inner strengths, and practical coping skills.
Sessions are straightforward and conversational. She listens, clarifies what you hope to change, and suggests small, doable strategies you can try between meetings. For people carrying guilt or shame, she often helps name the feeling, trace how it affects daily life, and test out different ways of thinking or acting.
People who choose her can expect steady, focused care aimed at everyday problems. If you want to start, follow the site steps to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the client's concerns and priorities. In practice this means the therapist reflects what the client says, asks about goals, and follows the client's lead to decide what to work on. This approach helps when someone brings guilt or shame tied to relationships, parenting, or life choices.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions. It helps people test unhelpful thoughts and try small behavior changes to see if things shift. CBT can be useful for anxiety, depressive patterns, and recurring guilt-driven behaviors.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose methods that fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That means checking what helps, adjusting techniques, and trying different tools if needed.
Confirm the therapist's current session options before booking, as formats are not specified in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also let people use mindfulness exercises and CBT worksheets during or between meetings to practice new ways of thinking and acting.
