She works with stress, anxiety, self-esteem, compassion fatigue, relationship concerns, grief, career questions, and coping with life changes. She also offers coaching for practical next steps.
Dr. Washington starts by listening to a person's story and noticing how early family patterns show up now.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is part of her approach when clients want tools to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Solution-Focused and Existential methods are used to clarify values, set small goals, and find meaning in transitions.
Her work includes attention to family of origin issues and how childhood roles, expectations, or communication patterns shape adult relationships. She also addresses caregiver stress, codependency, multicultural concerns, and life-stage needs such as aging and geriatric issues.
Dr. Washington combines therapy and coaching to help people make concrete changes. She encourages straightforward strategies for money worries, career decisions, and improving social confidence. For those wondering how to begin, she guides people through the first steps and practical planning.
Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Dr. Washington often draws from Client-Centered Therapy, which centers the person's own perspective and priorities and helps clarify what matters most to them. That approach supports people who want to explore how family roles and expectations affect current choices. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify patterns of thinking and behavior that increase stress or anxiety. CBT provides concrete tools for managing symptoms and testing new ways of responding to difficult situations. Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. She will work with each person to match methods to their goals, preferences, and what they want to change. Plans are adjusted as needs evolve and as progress becomes clear. The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also allow sessions without being on camera or with lower bandwidth when that helps someone participate. Licensed professionals tailor session pacing and homework to fit everyday life rather than promising a single style of delivery.Areas of expertise
