About Daphne
Dr. Daphne Washington, LCPC, is licensed in Maryland and has seven years of clinical practice. She helps people manage stress and anxiety, build self-esteem, recover from compassion fatigue, and adjust to life changes. Her work also includes coaching around career, relationships, and grief.
Dr. Washington uses straightforward, conversational sessions. She treats each person as the expert on their life and looks for strengths to build on. Sessions often focus on practical self-care strategies that can be used between meetings to reduce overwhelm and improve day-to-day functioning.
Her clinical approach draws on Client-Centered methods to prioritize the person’s perspective. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address patterns of thinking that lead to anxiety or low self-worth. Solution-Focused strategies are used to identify small, achievable steps toward goals.
Dr. Washington pays attention to issues that come up over the lifespan, including aging and caregiver stress. She also addresses neurodiversity concerns such as autism and Asperger syndrome, and topics tied to culture, discrimination, and money worries. Seasonal Affective Disorder and social anxiety are among the specific concerns she treats.
Sessions are conversational and goal oriented. Clients can expect clear suggestions, practical exercises, and regular check-ins on progress. The emphasis is on skills people can use outside of sessions to manage symptoms and move toward goals.

Approaches used in online sessions
Dr. Washington commonly applies Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her work.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect and teaches practical skills to reduce anxiety and improve self-esteem.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to identify which methods match a person’s goals and preferences. That process includes checking in on what is helping and adjusting methods over time.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week and reduce travel time. They also allow for shorter check-ins when time is limited and remove the need to be on camera for every meeting if that helps someone engage. Licensed professionals use these approaches to help people practice skills and track progress between sessions.
