Delissa has been exactly who I needed to help me work through so much that had just piled up. She has been very validating, but at the same time gives tough love when I need it. I feel like I have progressed more in my seven months with her than I have previously with several years of therapy work. I cannot say enough good about her. I feel so much better for having had her guidance. She is the best and I hope she knows how much I truly appreciate her and all her help!

She has been exceptionally understanding and gives great practical counsel, which is direly needed on days when it is easy to get caught up in all the emotions. It is especially helpful to have a therapist that shares the same beliefs in Christ's and thus gives Biblically based advice yet supported with sound literature about processing emotions and reframing/changing one's mindset, especially from her education and life experiences. I greatly appreciate such counsel during my sessions.
More about Delissa
- 20 years' experience

- LPC
I am licensed in Mississippi with more than 17 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with coping with addictions, trauma and abuse, & parenting issues. I also have experience working with motivation, self esteem, and developing the practice of healthy boundaries. Boundaries define who we are and who we are not. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion while presenting Truth in love. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a healthy change. I practice holistic Christian based counseling. Most people do what they do because they believe what they believe. This is what the Word of God says - "As a man (or woman) thinketh in his (her) heart, so is he (she)." I am just a guide and my aim is to help you achieve your goals by setting them yourself after dealing with whatever issues or concerns you desire to discuss.
I received my bachelor degree (1984) in Religious Education from Mississippi College in Clinton MS and in 2005 I graduated from USM with my masters degree in Education with emphases on counseling.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Delissa has been so helpful. She always reminds me GOD is ALWAYS by my side. Delissa has always been professional, kind & such a great inspiration to me to read Scripture & not be afraid to set boundaries on people in my life. She is always an inspiration to follow GOD'S word & for me THAT is a wonderful reason for me to keep her as my Therapist. I thank GOD for this wonderful knowledgeable lady.
Delissa Castleberry is a great therapist. I’ve never really been able to open up to anyone, but she has made me feel very comfortable and able to talk about many things. She also incorporates prayer and biblical readings into our sessions, I think that is great! I would definitely recommend her to everyone I know!!
I highly recommend Delissa Castleberry as a therapist. She is exceptional at listening and truly understands your primary concerns. Delissa skillfully walks you through various coping strategies, making them easy to grasp and apply. Talking to her feels natural and comfortable, as she asks insightful questions that encourage deep reflection. Delissa helps you dive into the root of your problems, enabling you to tackle the core issues effectively. Her thoughtful approach and ability to ask the right questions make her an outstanding therapist who genuinely cares about her clients' well-being.
She has been a blessing to me to say the least. I look forward to our sessions. She is truly helping me.

Delissa has helped me so much. I am so hopeful that I'll feel better sooner with her help. She was really the EXTREME help I needed. THANK YOU MRS. CASTLEBERRY.
I haven’t been with her long but she is a great therapist as i can see. She is very concerned and caring about me and what is going on in my life
AMAZING
Delissa will listen to you and give you the best advice needed for your situation! She has helped me through my difficult time last year when I lost my husband to cancer. She actually meet him before he passed away and she helped me through it, I’m still grieving however she does help me and check on me, when no one has checked on me! Thank you Delissa.
Delissa is a God send. I look forward to many many many more days with her and her wise counsel.
Delissa has been a great help and source of support as I start this new journey of addiction recovery.
Delissa is wonderful about listening then offering Christian based input that pushes you to grow as a person. I really love that she will role play conversations with me so that I can work through my anxiousness and overcome those worst cases scenarios in my head. She has offered me great guidance as I’ve worked to set healthy boundaries with loved ones and worked on my people pleasing ways. I definitely recommend her!
I am just getting to feeling more comfortable with Delissa but I feel like I've known her for some time. I have had a really good experience so far.
Delissa is a Godsend! She UNDERSTANDS ME!!! Wow! It’s been a while since I could really say that. I’m very happy and very lucky to have her taking care of me. Delissa can relate to the things I’m going through and how I feel. I’m really excited to have her walk beside me while I learn to manage my life.
She is so helpful and a great listener.
She listens well and helps me through out the day and week. She checks on me when my crazy life is going crazy and I don’t realize it!
Incredible therapist. Gives great feedback and direction. Helps drastically with my own comprehension of my own thoughts. And is just so easy to talk to.
Delissa has been a great partner to me through good time and tough times. She’s attentive, empathetic, and thoughtful. Thank you Delissa!
Amazing!! She was just so supportive and a great listener!!
She is the best. She's a Godly woman that loves the Lord. She's direct and doesn't sugar coat things. She challenges me but yet cares deeply.
Wonderful therapist. Helped me so much and got me through learning so much about how to not just handle the issue but how to handle things in the future as well!
So sweet, listens, and gives you advise based on scripture. She points me back to God, and gives me realistic advice, without being biased like others who know me.
Delish has been a breath of fresh air. Quickly seeking helpful things for me and even after hours sending me encouragement.
Melissa is great!
BetterHelp could not have matched me with a better therapist. Delissa is incredibly supportive, and she provides encouragement and fresh perspective in the obstacles that I face. I look forward to our weekly sessions, and I can always count on her in between sessions with messaging when needed.
I'm thankful that I was able to meet with a Christian-based therapist. She is a wonderful listener and a strong "do what is best for you" believer. I was always advised to do what would be best for me and my happiness and I cannot thank her enough. Learning to say no to toxic people and habits has transformed my life and I'm better for it. I have the tools that allow me to believe in myself and my abilities which is big after spending the majority of my life being insecure and low on self-worth. She is a big cheerleader and everyone needs one from time to time.
She is great
I could not have been assigned a better therapist. She is very professional, understanding, listens to me and suggests appropriate compensatory strategies to help me deal with current difficult circumstances which are exacerbating my chronic depression. I feel that we are well matched as client and therapist and thank God that our paths have crossed.
I have been very pleased with Delissa she made be feel very comfortable with sharing all my concerns with her. I feel like I’m known her for a long time look forward to hearing from her.
She listens to everything and asks that questions to make you think, and gives you things to help you with what you are going through she encourages you as well! She also checks on you for example she checks on you during the weekend on her off time and that is awesome. Especially is someone does not have anyone that can check on them!
I am so grateful for Delissa’s guidance! She’s a perfect mix of clinical and spiritual! She’s caring, but she isn’t scared to be forward when needed. I wish I would’ve booked sessions so much sooner! Her guidance has been so helpful in working on myself, creating better boundaries, and breaking free from people pleasing bondage!
I have absolutely loved my sessions with Mrs. Delissa. I have been in and out of therapy my whole life and have never had many therapists that will listen and respect my concerns quite like she does. She’s a very kind and loving person and I am so glad I was able to meet her and speak with her. 10/10 recommendation.
Has been so wonderful
Delissa is wonderful.... Very patient kind and tells you alot of wonderful advice!!!
Delissa Castleberry has been wonderful so far. She listens as well as gives feedback. I like that she gives me homework…my faith is very important to me and Melissa approaches everything from a Christian perspective and discipline and is very knowledgeable. I’d recommend her to anyone. Especially those wanting Christian faith based counseling.
Delissa is a great therapist and Great woman of God

My first session with Delissa Castleberry was very productive. Homework was assigned. I received great comfort from this session as well.
