Tiffany Washington is a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) who helps people seeking practical change and clearer direction when life feels overwhelming.

Background and approach

With 19 years in social work and a background that includes a Bachelor of Social Work and a Master of Social Work from Michigan schools, she focuses on guiding clients through stress, anxiety, addiction concerns, relationship and family struggles, and transitions such as career changes or life adjustments.

Her practice emphasizes solution-oriented and strengths-based work, blending cognitive behavioral techniques with acceptance and mindfulness-informed strategies. Tiffany incorporates elements of motivational interviewing and other relational methods to support clients in addressing grief, trauma, self-esteem, anger, and challenges such as codependency, caregiver stress, and substance use.

Approaches for change delivered online

CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful patterns in thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety or depression and improve day-to-day functioning. In practice it involves setting clear goals, trying new skills between sessions, and tracking progress over time.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then clarify personal values to guide meaningful action. This approach is often useful for stress, avoidance, and situations where coping and direction matter more than eliminating internal experience.

Therapeutic fit is treated as a collaboration. The therapist will work with clients to evaluate which approaches match their needs, goals, and preferences and adjust methods as work unfolds, combining techniques when that makes sense to support growth and problem solving.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to access consistent support around work, family, or other commitments. These formats allow for regular check-ins, skills practice between sessions, and a variety of ways to communicate so clients can choose what feels most manageable for their life and pace of progress.
