About Daphne
Dr. Daphne Washington helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, compassion fatigue, grief, and career or life transitions. She uses straightforward, practical conversations to help clients build self-care routines and cope with change.
Her approach emphasizes the client’s strengths and aims to restore energy and confidence over time. With seven years of clinical experience and an MD plus LCPC, she draws on both counseling practice and years as an educator.
Background and approach
She listens first, then helps people name what matters most to them. That makes it easier to set small, achievable goals that fit daily life. Sessions focus on real problems and clear steps.
Dr. Washington offers tools to manage anxiety, rebuild self-esteem, and recover from burnout. She also works with concerns like caregiver stress, aging and geriatric worries, autism and Asperger Syndrome related questions, and issues tied to money, identity, or discrimination.
Her style blends active listening with practical techniques from evidence-informed approaches. Clients can expect a collaborative tone where their perspective guides the work. The aim is to help people feel more capable and able to make choices that match their values.
People who prefer a mix of talking and concrete strategies often find this style useful. Dr. Washington helps clients explore life purpose, repair communication problems, and navigate forgiveness or guilt.
The work is paced to each person’s readiness and goals.

Online support
Approaches you can use online
Existential Therapy focuses on meaning, choice, and personal responsibility. It helps people facing life changes, grief, and questions about purpose by encouraging honest reflection and values-based decisions.Client-Centered Therapy centers the person’s own experience. The therapist listens without judgment and helps clients clarify feelings and goals, which can strengthen self-esteem and decision-making.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It offers concrete tools to reduce anxiety, manage stress, and change unhelpful patterns through practice and feedback.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Dr. Washington will collaborate with each person to match methods to their needs, goals, and preferences. That means trying techniques, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan together over time.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to give practical flexibility. Video works well for face-to-face conversation, phone suits lower bandwidth or a quick check-in, live chat is useful for real-time text interaction, and messaging supports ongoing brief updates. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving, or mobility limits while keeping the focus on steady progress.
