About Daphne
Daphne Jones-Gooden is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Michigan with 12 years of clinical experience.
Background and approach
She brings a background in working across ages and family systems, and focuses on helping people navigate issues such as anxiety, depression, stress, ADHD-related behaviors, caregiving strain, parenting challenges, and relationship or family concerns. Daphne also addresses a wide range of related struggles including grief, trauma and abuse, addiction, self-esteem, and life transitions.
Her approach blends practical, goal-oriented methods with collaborative care. She uses cognitive behavioral techniques alongside motivational interviewing, solution-focused strategies, and DBT-informed skills to help clients identify unhelpful patterns, build coping skills, and take steps toward clearer goals.
Daphne frames therapy as a team effort in which clients set priorities and the therapist supports measurable progress. Clients seeking support for mood disorders, compulsive behaviors, career or purpose questions, or midlife and aging concerns may find her work relevant.
She offers a professional, down-to-earth style aimed at helping people move past barriers and toward more adaptive day-to-day functioning.
Practical approaches for online therapy and skill building
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning. It is often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and many mood-related concerns by teaching concrete coping strategies and problem-solving skills.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes emotional regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness. These skills help people manage intense emotions, reduce impulsive reactions, and improve relationships in moments of crisis or ongoing stress.
Finding the right approach is part of the work; the therapist will collaborate with each person to choose or combine methods based on individual goals, needs, and preferences. That collaborative discovery helps tailor sessions so interventions feel relevant and achievable.
Online therapy with this practice is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, which allows scheduling flexibility and continuity of care from home or other convenient locations. These formats make it easier to fit skill practice and ongoing support into busy lives while working toward measurable goals with a licensed professional.
