About Delores

Dr. Delores Liston offers calm, practical support for people coping with stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, grief, and trauma. She works with concerns around relationships, intimacy, sleep, self-esteem, bipolar disorder, career strain, compassion fatigue, and multicultural stressors.

She is a licensed clinical social worker in Georgia and brings ten years of experience to her work. Her style is direct and respectful. Sessions focus on what matters most to the person in front of her.

Background and approach

Conversations aim to build trust, name priorities, and find clear next steps that fit each person’s life. She centers clients' strengths and adapts the conversation to their needs. Dr.

Liston uses client-centered approaches that let people lead the pace and topic of the work. She also draws on mindfulness to help with intense feelings and on solution-focused methods to hone practical changes. Dialectical behavior therapy tools are used when stronger emotion regulation or interpersonal skills are needed.

In sessions she listens closely and helps people practice new ways of responding to stress and relationship problems. She talks through coping techniques for sleep, mood swings, and addictive urges, and helps plan small, achievable steps toward change. Multicultural concerns and identity issues are part of the conversation when they matter to the person.

For many, video meetings feel like the best way to start because they allow clearer interaction. Phone, chat, and text options are also available when those formats suit someone's schedule or communication style. Dr.

Liston aims to make therapy easy to fit into everyday life.

Online support

Approaches that work well online

Dr. Liston often uses client-centered therapy, which means conversations follow the person’s priorities and pace while the therapist listens and reflects. This approach helps people feel heard and shapes goals around what matters most to them.

She also applies mindfulness therapy to help people notice strong emotions without being overwhelmed. Mindfulness exercises can reduce distress from anxiety, grief, or intense mood shifts by teaching simple attention and breathing practices. When needed, she brings in dialectical behavior therapy skills to build emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and relationship effectiveness. DBT tools are practical for managing strong mood swings, interpersonal conflicts, and impulsive behaviors.

Working online makes it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls allow rich interaction and clearer nonverbal cues. Phone sessions can be a lower-bandwidth option and useful when a camera feels like too much. Live chat and text-based messaging are available for brief check-ins, coaching between sessions, or when typing is a better fit. Together the therapist and client decide which approach and format suit the person’s goals, needs, and daily routine.
