About Daphne
Daphne Jones-Gooden is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Michigan with 12 years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, or life changes. Daphne speaks plainly and aims to make therapy understandable and practical.
She has worked across a range of concerns including parenting strain, caregiver stress, ADHD-related behaviors, relationship and family difficulties, and addiction issues. Her background also includes support for trauma and grief, mood disorders, and challenges like obsessive or impulsive behaviors.
Background and approach
In sessions she uses straightforward tools from cognitive behavioral approaches and motivational interviewing to help people notice patterns and try different responses. Solution-focused methods are used to set small, achievable steps so clients can see change quickly. She tailors those techniques to each person's pace and goals.
Daphne treats problems step by step, helping clients map out goals and then practice specific skills between sessions. She often works on emotion regulation, coping skills, and practical problem solving for everyday stressors. The aim is better functioning, clearer priorities, and less overwhelm.
She emphasizes collaboration - clients set the priorities and Daphne helps guide the work. People who want direct, skills-based support for anxiety, parenting stress, life transitions, or mood concerns may find her approach a good fit.
Practical approaches for online therapy and skill building
CBT, or cognitive behavioral therapy, focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-life experiments. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and worry by teaching specific skills to change thinking and behavior.Motivational interviewing is a short, conversational style that helps people resolve mixed feelings about change. It works well when someone wants to address addictions, make a health change, or decide on goals that matter to them.
Daphne treats approach selection as a team effort. She will talk with the client about goals, try methods that fit the person's style, and shift course when something is not working. This collaborative process helps find the best mix of strategies for anxiety, stress, parenting challenges, or mood concerns.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for deeper conversation and skills practice, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging can be used for quick check-ins or brief coaching between appointments. These options make scheduling easier and let people fit therapy into busy lives.
