About Tiffany

Tiffany Washington is a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) practicing in Michigan with 19 years of experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, addictions, relationships, self-esteem, career concerns, family issues, trauma and abuse, grief, and other life changes. Tiffany also supports people dealing with ADHD, bipolar symptoms, depression, and intimacy-related struggles.

She earned a Bachelor of Social Work from Marygrove College and a Master of Social Work from Wayne State University. Tiffany has practiced in Michigan since 2011 and combines clinical work with career strategy and life-management coaching. Much of her work focuses on helping people move through transitions like new jobs, relationship shifts, and other major changes.

Her style is interactive and solution-oriented. Sessions mix cognitive-behavioral techniques with mindfulness and motivational interviewing. She aims to help people identify patterns that hold them back and try practical steps to change them.

Tiffany often uses skills-based work for stress management, relapse prevention, and building healthier communication. She helps clients practice new responses to old problems so they can handle daily pressures more reliably. That can include short-term coping tools or longer-term planning for career and relationship goals.

People who reach out can expect direct conversations and concrete steps. Tiffany emphasizes respect and sensitivity in sessions and centers the client's goals when deciding how to move forward.

How therapeutic approaches shape online sessions

Tiffany draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to guide online work. ACT focuses on clarifying values and taking committed action despite uncomfortable thoughts or feelings, which can help with motivation, career decisions, and persistent worry. CBT looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful patterns, useful for anxiety, depression, and managing cravings.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Tiffany works collaboratively to decide which methods fit a person's goals and situation. She will check in about what is helping and adjust the focus over time so the work stays practical and relevant.

Confirm current session formats before booking, since specific formats are not listed in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when time is tight, and reduce the need to travel to appointments. Therapists generally use these conveniences to help clients practice skills between sessions and apply strategies directly to daily life.
