Getting to know Daphne Dent-Black
I'm Daphne, a Clinical Social Worker, Life Coach, and Professor with over 20 years of experience helping adults, couples, and families move through life’s challenges. My approach to therapy is compassionate, nonjudgmental, and focused on the whole person—mind, body, and spirit. I believe in meeting you where you are, honoring your story, and working together to build on your strengths.
Through safe and supportive telehealth services, I help clients manage symptoms of anxiety and depression, work through relationship and career transitions, and develop the tools needed for lasting personal growth. Your path is unique, and together we’ll explore meaningful ways to move forward with purpose and resilience.
What should a new client know about working with you?
My approach to therapy is compassionate, collaborative, and rooted in seeing the whole person—mentally, emotionally, physically, and spiritually. I believe healing begins in a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can feel seen, heard, and understood. Whether you're managing anxiety, depression, grief, relationship issues, or life transitions, I walk alongside you as a supportive guide and partner in your journey.
Drawing from over 20 years of experience as a Clinical Social Worker, Life Coach, and Professor, I integrate clinical expertise with practical tools and insight tailored to your unique needs. I incorporate evidence-based practices, spiritual principles (when desired), and a strengths-based approach to help you discover your resilience and rediscover purpose, balance, and growth.
Therapy with me is not one-size-fits-all. Together, we will build a personalized path forward—one that honors your values, supports your healing, and empowers lasting change.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
In sessions with me, clients can expect a supportive, nonjudgmental space where they feel heard, respected, and empowered. Together, we will explore what’s holding you back, uncover patterns that may no longer serve you, and identify practical tools to support your healing and growth.
You’ll take away:
Increased self-awareness and confidence in your ability to make empowered decisions
Coping strategies for managing anxiety, depression, grief, and life transitions
Improved communication and boundary-setting skills for healthier relationships
Personalized tools to support emotional, mental, and spiritual well-being
A stronger connection to your values, purpose, and resilience
My goal is for you to leave each session feeling supported, more in control, and inspired to take meaningful steps forward in your life.
