About Delores
Dr. Delores Liston is a Clinical Social Worker (LCSW, CSW) licensed in North Carolina and Georgia with 10 years of experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, addictions, grief, career and relationship concerns, and issues related to LGBT identity, trauma and abuse, sleep problems, mood disorders, and multicultural concerns. Sessions are client-centered and interactive, with attention to practical steps and individual strengths.
She uses a solution-focused stance to help people find concrete changes that fit their lives. Conversations emphasize skills, small experiments, and steps that can reduce distress between sessions. Mindfulness practices and elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) are also part of her work when they fit a person's goals.
Delores aims to listen closely and work collaboratively on goals that matter to the client. She adapts the pace and topics to what feels most useful, whether that means skill-building, problem solving, or processing difficult events. Cultural background and identity are included in the discussion when relevant, and multicultural concerns are an acknowledged focus.
She prefers video sessions for building a working relationship but will confirm session options at intake. Costs vary with location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. Sessions are conducted in English and international clients are not accepted.
To begin, a prospective client completes a short matching questionnaire and schedules a first session. That initial step helps clarify goals and the best way of working together.

How her approaches shape online sessions
Dr. Liston commonly blends client-centered therapy with solution-focused techniques. Client-centered work centers on listening and reflecting so the client’s priorities guide each session. Solution-focused methods aim for small, concrete changes and practical steps that can be tried between meetings.She also uses mindfulness and DBT skills when those tools match a person’s needs. Mindfulness practices help with emotional regulation, stress, and sleep by training attention and noticing patterns. DBT skills provide specific tools for tolerating distress and improving emotional control when strong feelings get in the way of daily life.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. She works collaboratively to decide which methods to emphasize based on the client’s goals, current challenges, and preferences. This means the plan can shift as progress or needs change.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Many people choose video for fuller interaction, which she often prefers for building the therapeutic relationship. Practical benefits of arranging sessions this way include fitting meetings around work or family commitments, shorter check-ins when time is limited, and using exercises and skills in the moments they arise.
