Tiffany Washington, LMSW

Tiffany Washington is a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) with nearly two decades of experience helping people untangle stressful patterns. She focuses on practical steps that reduce anxiety, manage mood shifts, and address relationship strains like jealousy and commitment concerns. Tiffany uses clear, straightforward language and a supportive tone for people who want change but feel stuck.

She earned 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 has worked in social work settings for 19 years. Her background includes career strategy, transitions, and substance use work alongside counseling for depression, grief, trauma, and life changes.

Sessions are described as interactive and strengths-based. Tiffany combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with mindfulness practices and motivational interviewing to help clients identify patterns and try new behaviors. She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Emotionally-Focused approaches when helpful.

Work often focuses on concrete skills: communication tools, coping strategies, relapse prevention, and plans for career or life transitions. Tiffany aims to build small, doable steps so progress feels steady and manageable.

Her practice also addresses caregiver stress, blended family challenges, codependency, infidelity, addiction concerns, and intimacy-related issues. People who want both practical guidance and emotional support may find this approach useful.

How these approaches fit into online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for worries, life changes, and challenges like jealousy that keep someone stuck. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting thought and behavior patterns and testing new ways of responding to reduce anxiety and improve mood. It often includes short exercises to practice between sessions. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person’s goals and pace, offering empathy and real listening to help people feel heard and make their own choices.

Finding the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will work with each person to see which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That may mean starting with a skills-based plan and adding acceptance work or more emotion-focused strategies over time.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm current session options before booking. The platform’s process typically asks you to match, schedule, and plan sessions around your routine. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when helpful, and let people use quieter surroundings or audio-only meetings when video is not needed. Talk with the therapist about the practical format that best supports your goals and daily schedule.
