About Daphne
Dr. Daphne Washington helps people manage stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, compassion fatigue, grief, and major life changes. She also supports work and career questions and offers coaching-style help for finding direction and purpose.
She uses a practical, person-focused style in sessions. Dr. Washington listens first to understand each person's story.
She then works with clients to set small, achievable goals and build simple habits that reduce overwhelm and increase confidence.
Background and approach
Her approach mixes client-centered conversations with techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy and solution-focused work. That means she pays attention to feelings and values while also trying out concrete changes in thinking and behavior. She helps people notice patterns, test new ways of responding, and track what does and does not help.
With seven years of clinical experience and a background as a counselor educator, Dr. Washington brings both hands-on practice and teaching experience to sessions. Her credentials include MD and Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor, LCPC.
Sessions are aimed at practical tools for day-to-day life - coping skills for hard weeks, plans for career shifts, and steady practices to rebuild energy after burnout. The tone in sessions is respectful, straightforward, and focused on real steps people can try between meetings.

Online support
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding a person's experience. The therapist reflects what is said, helps clarify values, and supports people as they decide on next steps; this approach suits concerns like low self-esteem, grief, and life purpose. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, uses short experiments and practical exercises to notice thinking and behavior patterns and then try small changes; it is often used for anxiety, stress, and social phobia.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. Together they will try methods and adjust plans based on what makes a real difference in day-to-day life.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions are useful for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone needs a quick check-in. Live chat and text are good for short updates, ongoing coaching-style prompts, or when writing helps clarify thoughts. These options give flexibility so therapy can fit work, caregiving, and travel schedules.
