Theoretically, Dr Delaney can best be described as using an eclectic approach. She relies heavily on behaviorism, cognitive behaviorism, and family systems theory.

Originally from Alberta, Canada, she also holds a Master of Business Administration and Bachelor of Psychology from the University of Alberta in Edmonton. Dr. Delaney has worked with children, adolescents and adults in a variety of capacities. She began her career on the crisis response team for one of the largest school districts in the United States. This experience provided expertise in homicide and suicide risk assessments and crisis intervention, as well as working with students and parents experiencing significant psychological distress and trauma. She subsequently joined the counseling department of a Texas based university teaching hospital where her work focused on anxiety, depression and ADHD. Her work with substance/process abuse and co-occuring disorders has been largely composed of college athletes, college/high school students and survivors of sex trafficking. She began working virtually pre-pandemic and continues that today. In her free time, Dr. Delaney can be found at a CrossFit gym, running the bayou paths of Houston, or watching Texas A&M Football with her hound dog puppy, Brisket.
