About Delores
Dr. Delores Liston, LCSW, CSW, is licensed in Georgia and has ten years of clinical experience. She works with stress, anxiety, addictions, grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, depression, bipolar disorder, sleep problems, self-esteem issues, career questions, multicultural concerns, and trauma and abuse. Her approach is client-centered and interactive, and she uses solution-focused strategies and mindfulness and DBT techniques to help people make changes.
Dr. Liston frames sessions around the person's goals and strengths. She listens and helps identify small, practical steps forward. Sessions often include skill building from dialectical behavior therapy and mindfulness practices to support emotion regulation and clearer thinking.
She also brings a solution-focused orientation. That means tracking progress and testing strategies that aim for concrete improvement. For issues like addiction, relationship strain, or work stress, she works to set measurable goals and strategies that can be used between sessions.
Dr. Liston notes multicultural concerns as an additional focus. She pays attention to cultural context and how it shapes stress, identity, and coping. That includes addressing issues relevant to LGBT people and others whose background affects how they experience mental health challenges.
She prefers video sessions to build the therapeutic connection but says she will work in ways the client finds comfortable. Sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.

How her approaches translate to online work
Dr. Liston uses client-centered therapy to focus sessions on what the client wants to address. That means conversations concentrate on the client's priorities and the therapist reflects and clarifies to help identify next steps.She also draws on dialectical behavior therapy, which teaches practical skills for handling strong emotions and improving relationships. DBT skills are useful for anxiety, mood instability, and managing distress between sessions.
Mindfulness therapy is part of her practice and involves simple attention and breathing exercises to reduce reactivity and improve sleep and focus. These practices are short and can be practiced during or between online sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist and client review goals, try strategies, and adjust methods based on what helps most. This is a collaborative process driven by needs, preferences, and progress.
Confirm the current session options before booking. The therapist has said video sessions often work best for building connection, and practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions into a busy schedule, shorter check-ins when needed, and avoiding travel time. These factors make it easier to maintain regular sessions and apply skills in day-to-day life.
