About Daphne
Dr. Daphne Washington is an LCPC (Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor) in Maryland with seven years of clinical counseling experience. She helps people manage stress and anxiety, build self-esteem, recover from compassion fatigue, and cope with life changes including career and relationship concerns. She also works with people facing grief and those who are navigating codependency-related patterns.
Her way of working is straightforward. Sessions focus on what a person wants to change and on small, practical steps that can be tried between meetings. She uses conversational work to identify unhelpful thoughts and habits, then looks for realistic alternatives that fit day-to-day life. Expect direct discussion, problem-solving, and gentle challenge when it helps.
Daphne draws on Client-Centered methods to listen and reflect what matters to each person. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques to spot thinking patterns that increase stress and anxiety. Solution-Focused work helps set short-term goals and track progress so people can see concrete results.
People who have been caring for others to the point of burnout often come to her for help rebuilding boundaries and restoring energy. She also supports those dealing with family of origin issues, communication problems, guilt and shame, and multicultural or prejudice-related stressors.
Her background includes years as a counselor educator in addition to clinical practice. That experience shapes her approach: clear explanations, practical tools, and a focus on skills people can use outside the therapy room. Sessions are conducted in English in Maryland.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the person. Online sessions using this approach prioritize open conversation and careful feedback to help people clarify values and goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and behaviors keep stress or anxiety going. In remote sessions CBT typically includes tracking thoughts, practicing coping skills, and reviewing results between meetings.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to test methods, see what feels useful, and adjust plans based on goals and preferences. This ensures the work stays focused and practical rather than theoretical.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a weekday break, reduce travel time, or choose a shorter check-in when schedules are tight. It also allows for homework review, use of digital worksheets, and regular tracking of progress between meetings.
