About Tiffany

Tiffany Washington is a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) who helps people untangle recurring patterns that hold them back. She focuses on practical steps that lead to clearer decisions, steadier moods, and more manageable daily life. Tiffany writes in a direct, respectful way and centers each session on the client's goals.

She came up through social work programs in Michigan, earning a Bachelor of Social Work from Marygrove College and a Master of Social Work from Wayne State University. Tiffany has been licensed in Michigan since 2011 and brings 19 years of experience in social work and career strategy.

Her work commonly addresses stress, anxiety, depression, substance use concerns, and relationship or intimacy-related issues. She also helps with career transitions, caregiver stress, blended family challenges, and the practical demands of life changes. Tiffany offers guidance for people coping with grief, trauma, ADHD, and difficulties like control issues, codependency, or jealousy.

Tiffany uses approaches that focus on skills and strengths. She blends cognitive-behavioral methods with mindfulness, acceptance-based ideas, and emotionally-focused strategies. Sessions are interactive and solution-oriented, with tools and homework tailored to the person’s situation.

In practice she emphasizes respect, empathy, and straightforward problem solving. People who want clear strategies, steady support during transitions, or help managing strong emotions may find her style useful. To begin, clients are invited to take a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.

How therapy approaches guide online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to values-based action. It is useful when stress or uncertainty keeps someone from moving forward. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and gives clear techniques to change unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and problem behaviors. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centers on identifying and naming emotions to improve how people relate to themselves and others, which can help with intimacy concerns and relationship stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. The therapist will collaborate with the person to choose methods that match their goals and preferences. That may mean trying different techniques and adjusting as progress is made.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - for example, shorter check-ins during a work break, or phone calls when video would use too much bandwidth. Many people find remote sessions reduce travel time and help keep continuity during life transitions. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT, CBT, or EFT exercises to work well in remote appointments based on individual needs.
