LICSW, 23 years of experience
Hello, I am Daphne Jakstis. I have been a licensed therapist for over 23 years. I keep up to date with the latest advances in evidence-based therapy practices and incorporate them into my work with clients. Evidence-based practices are skills and techniques that have been proven to be effective. I also believe that healing is a holistic approach so I combine evidence-based practices with complementary approaches to promote overall healing and wellness. I realize that no two people are the same, so I tailor my approaches to best fit the specific needs of my clients. Whether you are struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, or any other issue, I will help you fully realize your strengths and provide you with skills to help you manage challenges in healthier ways.
I am straightforward and direct in my work with clients. I consider your time to be valuable so I like to get right to work helping you to work towards your goals and feel better as soon as possible.
I try to stay up to date on the latest evidence-based practices to aid in trauma recovery and incorporate those practices into my work with clients.
I am pagan-friendly, poly-friendly, and LGBTQIA-friendly. I specialize in treating trauma.
I am certified in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy. This method of therapy focuses on skills building to help people recover from anxiety, trauma, depression and a host of other concerns.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on how our thoughts create our feelings and our behaviors. CBT seeks to explore unhelpful thinking habits and change them resulting in a change in how we feel and how we behave.
