About Delishia Williams

Delishia Williams brings a strengths-based, compassionate approach to helping people reconnect with their authentic selves amid life’s stresses and losses. She sees the inner spirit that makes each person unique and works collaboratively to lift the masks that grief, overwhelm, and everyday strain can place over that core identity. Drawing on a belief that human connection and understanding support wellbeing, she offers a supportive, non-judgemental presence as people explore ways to feel more grounded and engaged in life.

Williams earned a Master’s degree in Social Work from Howard University in Washington, D.C., where she concentrated on gerontology and the transitions that accompany aging. She then spent nearly seven years with a hospice provider, supporting patients, families, and healthcare and human service staff through some of life’s most intense changes. That clinical background shaped a practice grounded in finding meaning, tapping inner strengths, and using present-moment awareness to navigate difficult experiences.

As a licensed social worker (LISW - Licensed Independent Social Worker), she blends compassion with practical strategies to address concerns such as stress, anxiety, grief, relationship and family challenges, trauma, addiction, parenting, career questions, and life transitions. Williams believes therapy can benefit people at any stage, and she welcomes the opportunity to listen, support, and help clients explore steps toward feeling better.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support



Delishia Williams draws from client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and mindfulness therapy in her online practice. Client-centered therapy focuses on meeting people where they are and creating a trusting, empathetic space - it helps when someone needs acceptance, validation, and a supportive place to explore personal goals. CBT offers practical tools to identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavioral patterns, which can be useful for managing anxiety, depression, and stress-related issues. Mindfulness therapy teaches skills for staying present and noticing thoughts and feelings with less reactivity, which can support coping with grief, overwhelm, and life transitions.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Williams works collaboratively with each person to tailor methods to their needs, goals, and preferences. She helps clients experiment with techniques and chooses directions that fit their pace and circumstances.

Online therapy with her is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for busy schedules, caregiving responsibilities, or those who prefer remote care. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of support and to access licensed professionals from wherever the client is located within the therapist's service area.
