Today's world is full of complications and barriers to finding ease in being our authentic selves. The beautiful inner spirit that makes us who we are as individuals is often masked with grief from heavy losses in life, finding too much on our plates each day, and bumping into the strain that others around us are also carrying. I believe in the strengths that reside within us all, as humans. I love being a therapist because this role allows me to work with individuals from all different backgrounds in a supportive way as these individuals look to reignite who they really are on the inside. This world often gives us more than we need to get off track. I believe every person can benefit from therapy at any point in their lifespan that they choose to reach out. Human connection and understanding is key to our wellness. I am here to provide a non-judgemental, supportive hand to your journey.

I graduated from Howard University, Washington, D.C. with a Master's degree in Social Work. I focused my studies on gerontology and the transitions we face in life as we age. I worked for a Hospice provider for nearly 7 years supporting individuals, families, and human service/medical employees as they engaged with the most intense life transitions. This clinical background aided me in rooting my personal therapeutic practice around existentialism (a fancy word for finding meaning in life), inner human strengths, and mindfulness (being present in this moment).

I look forward to working with individuals who are wanting to feel better in these times. I believe there are many things we can do together to improve our outlook on this world and what it has to offer us. No matter how small or how big you feel your issue is, I am here to listen and support you in this journey.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space. Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Delishia did a great deal to help my understand myself better for the two years she worked with me. I'm not perfect but I am in a better place because of her guidance.

Sep 2023

I’ve been working with Delishia for several years and could not stress how helpful she’s been. When I first started therapy I was cynical but knew I needed to try a different way of getting help because I couldn’t do it on my own. From that mindframe to now, Delishia has been patient, kind, supportive, reliable, and extremely helpful. I didn’t realize I was missing someone in my life who would just say “I’m proud of how far you’ve come” on days I was really struggling. Very truthfully, she’s been the first person in a very long time who I’ve opened up to and because of that I am able to work towards getting better. I’ve still got a long way to go but having Delishia to lean on is more helpful than I can express.

Jul 2023

Delishia is truly a gem! She has a kind and welcoming demeanor that makes it very easy to build a strong, trusting rapport with her. She works hard to find resources and share past info that she’s read etc to add to the conversation and care goals I’m working towards. I have been meeting with Delishia weekly for almost 5 years now, and every week I still take away something new from our sessions! She’s supportive, kind, and helps gently push me to continue making the best progress that I can! Anyone would be more than lucky to work with Delishia!

Jun 2023

Delishia has been a great help to me over the years, she has always made this a safe space for me to vent, to get advice, to work towards being a better and happier person!

Dec 2022

There will never been a way to fully express my appreciation of Delishia. I have worked with her for quite some time and she’s nothing but supportive and nonjudgemental. She has always responded thoughtfully (and she lets you know if she needs an extra day) so I always feel heard. I would highly recommend her to anyone.

M.A.·Apr 2022

Delishia has been very helpful from the start and throughout my journey, I always feel listened to and supported. I love that she often sends me extra resources to help me and expand my knowledge outside of the sessions on relevant topics. I am very happy to be able to continue therapy with her and would definitely recommend her.

E.L.·Jan 2022

Delishia is the third therapist I’ve used through BetterHelp and she is incredible. I truly feel listened to and cared for. I leave every session feeling like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders. She makes me feel like she is there for me, I can text her whenever I need some guidance and she always comes back quickly and with advice which helps. I could not recommend her more, I can’t see myself ever having a different therapist.

J.O.·Nov 2021

Although I’ve just recently started worked with Delishia, I’m really enjoying the experience. I was a bit sceptical with therapy and online therapy but Delishia has made me feel very welcomed and comfortable. I read her previous reviews before picking her as my therapist and I’m so happy I can now relate to them. Very excited to just talk with her for the next few weeks.

H.E.·Nov 2021

Delishia is very kind and supportive, her presence create a safe space for you to talk. She offer a lot of ressources that really help. I'm very grateful to have her as a therapist! She offers a lot of ways to communicate and is open if you want to change it. Also, english is not my first language but she always made sure to understand me, she is very patient and thoughtful.

A.U.·Sep 2021

Delishia is wonderful. I started with her having no prior experience with therapy, and from day one she’s been warm, supportive, and helpful and moves with me at my own pace. I love how much research she shares and how she’s able to tie it in with my own interests. She’s very easy to talk to and I couldn’t recommend here enough!

S.Y.·Sep 2021

Delishia has been phenomenal. She challenges my conceptions and thoughts and continues to provide guidance, allowing me to achieve the goals that I set for myself.

Delishia is great! She has taught me so much about myself and different techniques to handle certain situations. I have been with her a short time now but can honestly say I already see a change in how I handle and think about things.

J.E.·Jun 2021

She’s wonderful. I’ve gone through many therapists who I felt were only parroting me instead of actually listening. She makes me feel heard & shows me that I matter. When I’m not in the space to talk she sends me inspirational thoughts or supportive messages even when I can’t bring myself to respond. I’m so grateful for her.

C.H.·Jun 2021

Delishia has been amazing, she is everything I need in to support my emotional well-being. I am preach feel great trust in her.

B.A.·May 2021

I had a short time with Delishia, but during my time she did a great job of making me feel welcome and safe to share in our space. It's a strength and a skill to be able to provide the feeling of non-judgement and safety while over the internet/phone.

A.S.·May 2021

Delishia has been an invaluable asset in my life. She is incredibly empathetic, gentle and kind. She always listens carefully to everything I'm saying (and not saying) and has helped me realize so many different patterns about myself. She stays focused on my overall goals and always encourages me to try a number of different methods to help manage my biggest stressors. She's helped me to replace the anxiety I’ve been feeling with excitement and optimism. I am very privileged to have her on my team and couldn't recommend her enough!

R.E.·May 2021

Delishia is amazing! I have worked with her weekly for 2 1/2 years and can’t imagine working with anyone else! She is kind and takes time to find resources specific to my journey with PTSD and grief, along with incorporating mindfulness practices to help with my daily wellbeing. She is approachable and realistic. Her professionalism is top notch and she truly does put her clients first! I’m so thankful that BetterHelp set me up with her!

S.A.·May 2021

Very understanding and helpful! Blessed to have such an awesome counselor in my life.

J.E.·Apr 2021

Delishia has been such a great outlet, support system, and advisor to me. Having the opportunity to use the message feature throughout the week in between video chats is a game changer. Delishia always leaves me with helpful resources and encouraging words.

K.O.·Jan 2021

Thank you for all of your support, it really, truly helped.

D.A.·Nov 2020

Delishia has been great to work with. This is my first experience with therapy, and Delishia has made it very enjoyable. She is supportive, communicates well, and has me with the issues that lead me to seek out help.

D.Y.·Nov 2020

Delishia WIlliams is an incredible therapist and I recommend her 100%.

S.Y.·Aug 2020

She is an amazing counselor that really takes the time to make sure she understands your goals and ensures she understands how you are feeling about different situations before moving foreword. Even though there are times that I am unable to talk about anything for various reasons, she always checks in so I know she is still there ready to listen, she does not push me to do things I’m uncomfortable with, she just lets me know she is there to listen when I am ready to talk.

J.U.·Jul 2020

Delishia has been that coach in my corner who helps me find the inner strength to stay in the ring.

M..·May 2020

She is great at listening to me and understanding me and always clarifies that she understands correctly, I have had great improvements since I started working with her and her approaches are very beneficial for me.

J.U.·Apr 2020

Delishia continues to be an invaluable resource for me. When I started with her I was feeling tired and drained all the time. Once we worked through those issues we have been able to move onto strategies that help me work through some of the more subtle and pervasive challenges both at home and at work. She regularly sends me articles that help reframe whatever we have been working on in a new light. Now that the world is dealing with the covid 19 pandemic, she has been a great resource in providing guidance and suggestions in a constantly and rapidly changing world. Thank you for all you do.

T.O.·Mar 2020

Delishia is wonderful! I had the pleasure to work with her these last few months. It was my first time doing therapy and I had some doubts (to be honest) and I was also a bit terrified. But Delishia created such a safe space for me to open up and show myself. She is very good at listening and understanding. Her insights are very wise and always made me question my thinking pattern and made me see opportunities for improvement, I discovered a lot about myself that way, many things that otherwise I would not have noticed. Even though English is not my first language, Delishia was very patient with me while I explained my situation. She responded quickly to my messages and she sent me lots of practical and engaging articles as well as worksheets. Now, in the end, I can see the positive results emerging out from our sessions and it is hard to describe how thrilled I am.

D.A.·Feb 2020

Delishia knows how to put things in perspective. How to break them down and make them not so scary. Her help has been so valuable to me.

M..·Jan 2020

Delishia has a wonderfully kind way of giving you the space to heal at your own pace. She creates a beautiful connection quickly, and opens the floor for you to be honest with yourself. Having Delishia as a support has helped me to begin my journey to find more love and kindness in myself. Thank you Delishia, I really appreciate your dedication and patience!

A.L.·Dec 2019

Delishia has all the qualities of a good listener. She recognizes your words and emotions, processes them, then sends back her thoughtful words. Her passion for her work shows and in turn gets me excited about making a change for the better. She has shared lots of fantastic research articles with me as well:) great fit for me.

H.E.·Dec 2019

Delishia has been incredibly helpful. I came to her at a time when I was feeling down. I am glad I came to here when I did as life became even more complicated with family injuries and substance abuse issues. She has helped me reframe the issues, provided guidance and tools to help work through life’s myriad challenges and has been a source of comfort during the most challenging of times.

T.O.·Nov 2019

H.O.·Sep 2019

I think Delishia is an excellent counselor and she understood what problems I had. And she took the right measurements to make sure that I could recover in a pretty exceptional time.

J.I.·Jul 2019

I love working with Delishia because not only is she an ear to hear your pain, but she is very reflective after the session has ended in addressing the why behind what you speak about. This is incredibly helpful for those who want to grow and expand in their understanding of themselves. She is warm, compassionate and reliable

S.A.·Jun 2019

Delishia consistently goes above and beyond, in terms of doing whatever she can to help. The first day I met Delishia, she took the initiative to find out what works best for my needs; after learning that I enjoy reading articles and case studies, she has made it a point to share as much research and information with me as she can. I have never had a counselor take the time after a session to find supporting articles to help me learn. Her demeanor is very kind and non-judgmental. She truly cares about what you are going through and provides very tailored support for any situation. She is passionate about her job and it shows! I’m thankful to have been matched with her because she is by far, the best counselor I’ve ever worked with!

S.A.·May 2019

A great counselor who offers in depth help and really try's to put herself in that situation. She sends worksheets and articles that assist people with what exactly they may be feeling.

G.R.·May 2019

Delishia is such a great listener. She offers advice and options when my head isn’t in the right place. She is always positive and on my side. I couldn’t make it though some weeks without her guidance.

M.A.·Apr 2019

I’ve taken several breaks as my life circumstances improve and no longer require counseling. It is such a comfort to know Delishia is ready to be there when I need her again, and I’m tearful when we say our temporary ‘goodbyes’. I cannot recommend Delishia highly enough.

S.Y.·Feb 2019

Delishia is seriously incredible. I was very skeptical about this entire service, and wasn't planning on staying passed the free trial. But her amazing rapport, understanding, explanations and help has given me great hope for the future.

D.E.·Jan 2019

I am so grateful to be working with Delishia. She has a lot of insight and compassion. She has a way of guiding you to reflect and look at things a different way that you hadn't thought of before. I definitely feel like I have grown and become more aware since working with her.

H.O.·Jan 2019
