Tiffany Washington , LMSW

Tiffany Washington is a licensed social worker and career strategist who creates a respectful, empathetic space for people ready to change old patterns that hold them back. She holds a Bachelor of Social Work from Marygrove College in Detroit and a Master of Social Work from Wayne State University, and she has been licensed with the State of Michigan since 2011 as an LMSW - a Licensed Master Social Worker.

Her practice focuses on practical, solution-oriented work that draws on strengths, motivation, and life-management skills. Tiffany has supported people through career transitions, substance use concerns, relationship challenges, anxiety, depression, and other life changes, helping them find clarity and resources to move forward. She commonly works with individuals facing blended family issues, caregiving stress, codependency, infidelity, and grief, among other concerns.

Tiffany’s counseling style is collaborative and interactive, combining cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness-infused strategies, and motivational interviewing to tailor each session to the person’s goals. Sessions are designed around the client’s priorities so that therapy becomes a focused process for problem solving, growth, and renewed direction. Her aim is to advocate for and empower people as they explore hopes, values, and the practical steps needed to create meaningful change.

Therapeutic approaches and online care with Tiffany Washington

Tiffany often draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and client-centered therapy. ACT helps people clarify their values and take committed steps toward them while learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings - it can be useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and teaching practical skills to change them - it is commonly applied to depression, anxiety, and coping challenges. Client-centered therapy emphasizes empathic listening and collaboration, creating space for clients to lead the work and build self-understanding, which supports relationship, self-esteem, and identity concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the process, and Tiffany will work collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. Licensed professionals and therapists use these approaches flexibly, and Tiffany tailors techniques to the individual rather than applying a one-size-fits-all model.

Online therapy offers practical benefits for people with busy schedules or mobility constraints. Video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging provide flexibility in how and when therapy happens, making it easier to maintain continuity of care and access support from wherever the client is located within the therapist’s service area.
