About Daphne
Daphne Santiful is an LCSW - Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 32 years of experience practicing in North Carolina. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, parenting challenges, low self-esteem, depression, and major life changes. Daphne also focuses on issues like blended family dynamics, caregiver stress, codependency, commitment and communication problems, and feelings of emptiness or isolation.
Her approach is straightforward and conversational. She uses a mix of methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing. In sessions she helps people identify patterns that leave them overextended or overly self-sacrificing. She talks through practical ways to set limits, rebuild a sense of self, and manage strong emotions.
Daphne draws on long experience working with people navigating relationship strain, workplace pressure, midlife shifts, and family complications. She helps clients sort out what matters to them and translate that into small, doable changes. Expect clear options and concrete skills rather than long theory talks.
Her work pays attention to cultural context and to how life roles affect emotional health. Daphne supports parents carrying caregiver burdens and people coping with separation, infidelity, or blended household stress. She also helps those struggling with guilt, shame, jealousy, or a search for life purpose.
Sessions are offered in English. Before booking, clients should confirm current session options and scheduling details through the site's matching and scheduling process.
How sessions work
Ways Daphne Brings ACT, CBT and Client-Centered Work Online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values and taking small committed actions. It helps people who feel stuck by teaching willingness for uncomfortable feelings while moving toward what matters. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thinking and behavior patterns and teaches specific skills to reduce anxiety, depression, and unhelpful habits. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and responding to a person's concerns so they can find their own solutions and gain confidence.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Daphne treats that as a collaborative decision. She will talk with clients about symptoms, goals, and preferences and suggest which methods to try. Sessions can combine techniques so people learn skills and try them between meetings.
Confirm current session options before booking so you know which formats are offered. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, shorten check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It can also let clients use quieter surroundings, turn off video for a less intense session, or schedule a session during a work break. These practical benefits help therapy fit into everyday life while the therapist and client test approaches that suit the person's needs.
