About Daphne
Daphne Hamburg, LCSW and LMSW, is licensed in California and Michigan and has five years of clinical experience. She works on stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, mood concerns, relationship and intimacy issues, and related concerns using approaches she describes in her own terms. She offers direct, interactive sessions and focuses on practical skills and conversation to support change.
Daphne began her work supporting survivors of domestic abuse and sexual assault, and she has experience with people addressing substance use who want change. She describes her style as interactive and respectful, and she emphasizes nonjudgmental dialogue rather than labels. She is sex positive and kink aware and notes attachment, communication, and family of origin issues among her focus areas.
Her approach mixes client-centered work with cognitive behavioral techniques and mindfulness practices. She also uses dialectical behavior therapy methods and EMDR as part of trauma-focused care. Daphne prefers to build skills and goals collaboratively, and she emphasizes developing concrete strategies during sessions.
She lists a broad range of concerns she addresses, including grief, parenting stress, career and money issues, ADHD, bipolar, depression, sleeping problems, and compassion fatigue. Additional focus areas include infidelity, control issues, domestic violence, drug and alcohol addiction, and veteran and armed forces issues.
Sessions proceed through conversational work, skills practice, and planning. Daphne asks clients to bring specific goals so sessions can target achievable steps. She accepts international clients and conducts work in English.

How Daphne’s approaches translate to remote sessions
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in close relationships. Remote sessions use discussion and exercises to identify how early attachment styles affect current relationships and intimacy issues. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person's perspective. Sessions emphasize listening, reflection, and collaborative goal-setting so clients shape their own plan for stress, identity, or relationship concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy teaches skills to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. In online work, clients learn practical exercises and homework to practice between sessions for anxiety, depression, or sleep problems. Finding the right approach is part of the work. Daphne will discuss what methods fit a client's needs and goals, and she will decide collaboratively which techniques to use and how to pace them. Practical benefits of remote sessions include fitting therapy into a busy schedule and reducing travel time. Remote meetings can make it easier to keep brief check-ins, manage workday breaks, or use audio-only visits when bandwidth is limited.
