Delilah Stovall
Hi! I'm Delilah Stovall (licensed as Dylan Stovall, LCSW). I'm transgender/non-binary (hence the two names), and I've worked as a social worker in Florida since 2019. I have worked in a community mental health setting for the entirety of my career until beginning my practice last year.
I'm transgender/non-binary (hence the two names), and I've worked as a social worker in Florida since 2019.
I have been independently licensed as a therapist in Florida since September 2022 and in Wisconsin since July 2025.
First session
We will spend time getting to know each other and getting used to the flow of sessions. We will take the first few minutes to discuss confidentiality, other formalities, and any questions you may have before spending the rest of the session discussing what is most important to you. Things may feel awkward at first, but this will fade as we build trust together. I will ask some questions about your past and your present life, but you are free to discuss as much or as little about any topic. We may start discussing goals and develop a treatment plan during our first session, or we may use the entire session to discuss your history or process recent stressors.
Strengths
My greatest asset as a therapist is my belief that each person has unique strengths and struggles. My life experiences have shown me the importance of acceptance and empathy, and this allows me to see people for more than their background or their diagnoses.
Ideal clients
I love working with people who are seeking change in their life, even if that change feels impossible or far out of reach. If you are willing to take small steps each week to head toward big changes, then we will make a great team on that journey together.
Treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
CBT can be useful for examining depression/anxiety/trauma/stress triggers and their effects on your thoughts, emotions, and actions. We can use CBT to promote better connection between the rational and emotional parts of your brain and body. This can include techniques such as Socratic questioning, cognitive reframing, mindfulness skills training, and journaling. CBT is an all-around framework with a solid evidence base, but can sometimes come across as cold or too intellectual. I prefer to take a warmer and down-to-earth approach where we work through difficult thoughts and emotions together in a non-judgmental atmosphere at a comfortable pace.
Motivational Interviewing
Our lives are filled with motivations and decisions that are influenced by multiple factors, many outside of our control. We are constantly juggling hundreds of tasks in our daily lives while still trying to work toward larger, long-term goals. Motivational Interviewing is a framework to identify the changes you want to see in your life along with the barriers you may face on a regular basis. Different areas of our lives are often in different stages of change, and working through those stages can lead to short-term and long-term success and fulfillment.
