Dr. Delores Liston, LCSW, CSW

Dr. Delores Liston is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who focuses on helping people handle stress, anxiety, depression, substance use concerns, grief, and trauma and abuse. She speaks plain language and aims to create a respectful space where people can talk through what feels most urgent to them. Dr. Liston works with individuals who face relationship strain, career stress, intimacy issues, sleep problems, and multicultural or identity-related concerns. With ten years of experience, she uses a client-centered style that keeps each person’s priorities at the center of care. That means conversations are shaped around your goals and pace. She also draws on solution-focused strategies to identify small, practical steps that move things forward between sessions. Mindfulness techniques are part of her toolkit when people want help managing overwhelming feelings or improving day-to-day coping. Dialectical Behavior Therapy ideas are used for teaching emotional regulation and communication skills when those areas cause recurring problems. Sessions emphasize clear skills practice and real-world application. Dr. Liston prefers an interactive counseling process. She aims to listen carefully, reflect what she hears, and work with clients to build a plan that fits their life. Her background includes supporting people through the effects of physical trauma and emotional abuse, and she brings sensitivity to multicultural concerns. People who choose her can expect straightforward discussion about next steps, strengths-based suggestions, and a focus on measurable change over time.

How her approaches guide online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and shaping sessions around what matters most to the person. It helps when someone wants a supportive space to sort priorities and make decisions. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, emphasizes teaching concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better communication. That makes it useful for people who struggle with intense moods or recurring conflict. Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and everyday demands to decide which methods to try first. This is a collaborative process that may mix skills practice, mindfulness, and solution-focused steps depending on what makes sense. For practical matters, confirm the current session options before booking since formats were not specified in the biography. Online sessions can help make therapy fit into busy days by reducing travel time, allowing easier scheduling around work or caregiving, and supporting consistent check-ins. Some people also prefer shorter or camera-free check-ins when that better fits their routine. The focus is on making therapy usable and relevant to daily life while applying client-centered, DBT, and mindfulness strategies.
