VirtualAvailable

I'm Della Brumskine, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and the founder of Canopy Clinical Group, a virtual therapy practice serving clients in Georgia and Pennsylvania. I work with adults navigating big life changes, relationship shifts, and the kind of moments that make you stop and ask "who am I now?" My approach is warm, direct, and collaborative, and I bring a deep appreciation for the unique pressures of navigating multiple cultures, identities, and expectations at once. I meet clients fully virtually, so you can show up to sessions from wherever feels most comfortable for you.

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

The first session is a chance for you to breathe a little. I do need to gather some information as part of the intake process, but I make sure there is real space for you to share what has been weighing on you and to feel genuinely heard. You will not leave the first session feeling like you just filled out a form. My goal is for you to walk away feeling seen, a little lighter, and clear on what we are working toward together.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

Cultural sensitivity is the foundation of my clinical practice. I understand what it means to navigate multiple identities, expectations, and cultural pressures at once, and that understanding shapes how I show up in every session. I am warm, direct, and genuinely curious, and I create space that feels structured enough to do real work but relaxed enough that you do not have to perform being okay. I am collaborative by nature and will gently challenge a narrative when I think it is keeping you stuck. Clients often describe me as easy to talk to, honest, and someone who helps them think more clearly about their own lives.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I am best positioned to serve adults, often women, who are navigating major life transitions such as divorce, career shifts, job loss, or the kind of identity questions that surface in midlife. Many of my clients are high achieving and used to holding everything together, and they come to therapy ready to stop over giving and start showing up for themselves. I also work well with clients navigating multiple cultural identities, including immigrant and diaspora communities, who want a therapist who understands those layered pressures without having to explain them from scratch. My ideal client is not necessarily in crisis. They are often stable on the surface but ready to ask "who am I now" and do the deeper work of rebuilding on their own terms.

My treatment methods

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients notice the connection between their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, especially the patterns that keep them stuck in anxiety, self doubt, or old narratives about who they are supposed to be. We work together to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and test them against reality, then build more accurate and workable ways of thinking. I do not use CBT as a rigid formula. I bring it into sessions in a way that fits your life and your goals, often alongside other approaches, so the tools feel practical rather than clinical.

Acceptance and commitment (ACT)

I use Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help clients make room for difficult thoughts and feelings instead of fighting them or getting stuck trying to control them. Rather than aiming to eliminate discomfort, we focus on identifying what truly matters to you and taking meaningful action even when anxiety, grief, or self doubt shows up along the way. This approach is especially useful for clients feeling stuck in life transitions, since it helps you stop waiting to feel ready and start moving toward the life you actually want. I bring ACT into sessions in a practical way, using it to build psychological flexibility rather than presenting it as an abstract concept.

Attachment-based

I use Attachment Based Therapy to help clients understand how early relationships shaped the way they connect, trust, and show up in relationships today. Many of the patterns that feel confusing or frustrating in adulthood, such as difficulty trusting others, fear of abandonment, or struggling to set boundaries, often trace back to attachment wounds formed long before you had the language for them. In session, we explore these patterns with curiosity rather than judgment, and work toward building a more secure sense of self that does not depend on external validation. This approach fits naturally with the life transitions many of my clients are navigating, since attachment shifts often surface most clearly when everything else in life is changing too.

Culturally Sensitive Therapy

Cultural sensitivity is not a technique I apply on top of therapy, it is the lens through which I practice. I bring deep awareness of how culture, immigration experience, race, and identity shape the way people understand their struggles and what healing is supposed to look like. For clients navigating multiple cultural identities or diaspora experiences, this means you do not have to spend session time explaining or justifying your background before we can get to the real work. I create space where all parts of who you are, your culture, your family expectations, and your own evolving sense of self, are welcome and treated as relevant clinical information rather than something separate from the work.

Dialectical Behavior (DBT)

I use Dialectical Behavior Therapy to help clients build skills in emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and navigating relationships without losing themselves in the process. DBT is especially helpful for clients who feel like their emotions move fast and hard, or who swing between shutting down completely and reacting intensely. We work on holding two things as true at once, such as accepting where you are right now while still working toward change, which tends to feel like relief for clients who have spent a long time being hard on themselves. I bring in practical DBT skills you can actually use between sessions, not just concepts to think about.
