About Tiffany

Tiffany Washington is a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) in Michigan with 19 years of practice. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, addiction, career transitions, grief, trauma, and parenting or family concerns.

Tiffany uses straightforward, solution-focused sessions. She helps people spot repeating patterns that cause pain and then try different ways of responding. Conversations are practical and goal-oriented, with attention to life management and career strategy when those issues come up.

Her training includes cognitive-behavioral methods and mindfulness-based ideas. She also draws on acceptance and commitment concepts and skills from dialectical behavior therapy to help people tolerate strong feelings and act on what matters to them.

Many people seek her out for help with addiction recovery, managing mood symptoms such as depression or bipolar challenges, and navigating family problems like blended household stress, caregiving strain, or divorce and separation. She also supports people coping with shame, guilt, infidelity, isolation, and communication breakdowns.

Sessions often emphasize practical skills you can use between meetings. Tiffany frames work around clear goals and small experiments to test what changes help. She also brings coaching-style planning when clients are making career moves or life transitions.

Her practice is oriented toward adults in Michigan who want direct, actionable help for everyday and long-standing problems at home and work.

How sessions work

How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions

Tiffany draws on cognitive-behavioral therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy in practical ways. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to change mood and stress. ACT emphasizes noticing difficult thoughts and choosing actions that reflect personal values rather than avoidance.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will help clients decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That collaboration means plans can shift as progress or obstacles become clearer.

The profile does not list specific session formats here, so confirm the available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so therapy can be scheduled around work or family responsibilities. Therapists can assign brief between-session exercises, use guided mindfulness practice, and work on communication skills in ways that translate to real life at home.
