About Daphne
Daphne Jones-Gooden is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Michigan with 12 years of clinical experience. She focuses on practical help for parents and individuals facing stress, anxiety, mood struggles, and changes in life. Daphne uses clear, down-to-earth language in sessions to keep conversations focused and useful.
Her work emphasizes short-term, goal-focused steps. She helps people set small, achievable goals and tries out tools that fit daily life. Sessions often include skill practice, problem-solving, and real-world strategies rather than long lectures.
Background and approach
Daphne draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused Therapy to shape sessions. That means she looks at thoughts and behaviors, teaches emotion-regulation skills, helps people find motivation to change, and keeps attention on practical solutions. She adapts these approaches to parenting concerns and family stress when relevant.
She has supported people dealing with grief, trauma, addictions, ADHD, anger, self-esteem issues, and career or midlife transitions. Daphne also addresses caregiver stress, blended family challenges, body image, and compulsive behaviors. Her background includes work with a wide range of ages and situations over more than a decade.
Daphne encourages a collaborative approach. Clients set the goals and she offers structure and tools to reach them. The focus is on making small, steady changes that improve daily routines and relationships over time.

Approaches you can use in online sessions
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them against real-life evidence. It helps with anxiety, depression, parenting-related thinking patterns, and behavior changes by giving concrete tools to try between sessions.DBT, or Dialectical Behavior Therapy, teaches emotion-regulation and distress-tolerance skills alongside interpersonal effectiveness. It is useful when strong emotions, impulsivity, or relationship strain interfere with daily life.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will listen to your goals, talk through options, and tailor methods to what fits your needs and preferences. Clients and the therapist review progress and adjust tools as needed in a collaborative way.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which allow flexibility for busy schedules. Video lets you work closely on skills and observe nonverbal cues. Phone sessions can be a good shorter check-in or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief check-ins, homework, or support between longer sessions. These options help therapy fit around parenting, work, and daily life.
