About Daja
Daja Isom is a licensed mental health counselor in Washington with five years of clinical experience. She supports people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low mood, or struggles with self-esteem and motivation. She focuses on creating an open, nonjudgmental space where a person can speak honestly about what’s hard right now.
Her approach is practical and grounded. She listens first, then helps people set small, achievable goals. Sessions are a place to sort out feelings, try new ways of coping, and build confidence to handle daily challenges.
Background and approach
Daja uses techniques from mindfulness to help people reconnect with the present moment. She also draws on solution-focused ideas to identify strengths and workable next steps. When appropriate, she incorporates Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, a method sometimes used for processing traumatic memories.
She pays attention to life transitions and relationship stress, including communication and commitment concerns. Daja also supports work-related strain, body image struggles, issues tied to discrimination, and the emotional impact of separation or loss. People who value a calm, straightforward style often find her helpful.
She aims to collaborate on goals and to teach skills that transfer to everyday life. The focus is on small changes that add up to better coping and clearer choices.
How EMDR, Mindfulness, and Solution-Focused Work Online
EMDR uses guided eye movements or other bilateral stimulation to help people process distressing memories. Online sessions can include EMDR-style work where the therapist guides the process and the client follows movements or sounds while describing thoughts and feelings.Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus. In remote sessions, clients learn short exercises to use between appointments for managing stress and anxiety.
Solution-Focused Therapy looks for immediate strengths and practical steps. Online meetings are well suited to this brief, goal-oriented work because they focus on clear next steps and measurable progress.
Choosing the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will talk with the client about their goals and preferences and then suggest techniques to try. They decide together what feels most useful and adjust as needed.
Online sessions offer flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video allows face-to-face conversation, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and chat or text works well for brief check-ins or mood tracking. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, school, or caregiving schedules.
