Delissa Castleberry
Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC)
About Delissa
I’m a licensed therapist in Mississippi with extensive experience supporting individuals through life’s most challenging moments. I work with clients across the lifespan, specializing in stress, anxiety, trauma, addiction, and major life transitions.
My approach is grounded in compassion and respect for each person’s unique journey. I create a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can explore difficult emotions, heal from past wounds, and build meaningful connections—with yourself and others. Whether you’re navigating grief, relationship struggles, workplace challenges, spiritual questions, or the complexities of identity and self-worth, I’m here to walk alongside you.
I draw on evidence-based therapeutic practices to address concerns including anxiety, depression, addiction, trauma recovery, codependency, family dynamics, and life purpose. I’m particularly skilled at helping clients work through guilt, shame, forgiveness, and the pain of abandonment or loss. I also have experience supporting women through postpartum challenges, seasonal mood changes, and the unique stressors of caregiving.
My style is direct, honest, and deeply respectful of your values and beliefs. I honor where you come from and meet you with genuine care as you move toward healing and growth. Starting therapy takes courage, and I’m honored to support you on this path.

- “Mrs. Delissa has been absolutely wonderful and knowledgeable. Through all my sessions, she has shown great patience that has been tempered and supported with clinical knowledge and life experiences. Most importantly for me, her advice has always been grounded in a Biblical background, which has been paramount in all my encounters with her. I'll definitely recommend her to anyone looking for such perspective on life.”
- “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.<br /> 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.”
- “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!!”
