More about Daphne

  • 32 years' experience

  • LCSW

As a licensed therapist with over three decades of experience, I specialize in supporting individuals through life's complex emotional landscapes. My practice centers on helping clients navigate challenges like depression, anxiety, self-esteem concerns, and significant life transitions.

I bring a compassionate, culturally responsive approach to therapy, with deep expertise in addressing issues facing women, young adults, and multicultural communities. My work focuses on empowering clients to develop stronger communication skills, overcome social anxiety, and rediscover their sense of purpose and self-love.

Drawing from extensive clinical experience, I support individuals dealing with relationship dynamics, workplace stress, midlife transitions, and family complexities. My therapeutic style emphasizes understanding, healing, and personal growth, creating a supportive environment where clients can explore their emotions and develop meaningful strategies for wellness.

I am committed to walking alongside my clients, honoring their unique experiences and helping them build resilience, self-understanding, and emotional strength.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.

Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
