About Delishia
Delishia Williams is a licensed independent social worker (LISW) with 15 years of clinical experience in Iowa. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and life transitions. Her approach prioritizes connection and practical steps you can take between sessions.
Delishia blends the Gottman Method with client-centered care and cognitive behavioral strategies. She listens first, then helps people notice patterns that get in the way. Sessions include down-to-earth tools for mood, sleep, self-esteem, and coping with change.
Background and approach
Her background includes a Master of Social Work from Howard University with study in gerontology. She spent nearly seven years working in hospice, supporting people through intense life transitions and end-of-life challenges. That work shaped her focus on meaning, values, and what matters most.
In sessions Delishia draws on mindfulness to help people stay present and on CBT to challenge unhelpful thoughts. She also uses Gottman Method ideas to address communication and relationship concerns in individual work. The goal is to create steady, manageable changes rather than sudden fixes.
Delishia welcomes clients who want clear, compassionate support for everyday struggles. She offers practical coaching for career, parenting, addiction, and caregiver stress as well as help with attachment, body image, and finding life purpose.

Online support
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Delishia often combines Gottman Method ideas with client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral techniques to shape online sessions. Gottman Method concepts focus on improving communication and reducing conflict through practical skills and clearer interaction patterns. Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening, empathy, and helping people find their own solutions at their own pace. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors to build small, testable changes for mood, anxiety, and sleep issues.Finding the right approach is part of the work she does with each person. She will talk with clients about goals, preferences, and what feels useful, then adjust methods over time. The process is collaborative and focused on what helps day-to-day functioning and relationships.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and teaching skills. Phone sessions can fit a busy schedule or require less bandwidth. Live chat and text messaging are helpful for quick check-ins, short coaching, or when typing feels easier than talking. These options aim to make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into daily life.
