01About Daphne
Dr. Daphne Washington helps people manage stress, reduce anxiety, and rebuild self-esteem. She supports people coping with compassion fatigue, career transitions, grief, and other life changes.
Her style is warm and straightforward, focused on practical steps that fit into daily life. Dr. Washington uses brief, clear conversations to identify what is most helpful right now.
She listens first, then works with each person to set small, achievable goals. Sessions often include simple exercises and new ways of thinking that can ease day-to-day pressure.
Background and approach
She combines client-centered work with cognitive strategies and solution-focused planning. That means she centers each person’s experience, offers tools to change unhelpful thinking, and looks for concrete next steps. Existential ideas also appear when people want to talk about meaning, purpose, or values.
With seven years of clinical experience, Dr. Washington balances practical coaching with deeper reflection. She encourages people to use their strengths while trying new habits.
Her medical and counseling credentials are MD and LCPC, and she practices in Maryland. People who come for help with caregiving stress, communication problems, life purpose, or multicultural concerns find focused support. She also addresses aging and geriatric issues, autism-related concerns, money worries, shame, and social anxiety.
The work is collaborative and paced to each person’s needs.

04Online support
Approaches that guide online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person’s perspective. It helps people feel heard and supports them in discovering their own solutions and strengths.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It offers practical exercises to reduce anxiety, shift unhelpful thinking, and build new coping skills.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, needs, and preferred pace. Adjustments are made over time so the plan stays useful and realistic.
Online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that helps. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text-based messaging let people check in between sessions or use written reflection when that feels most comfortable.
