Getting to know Daphne Dent-Black
I'm Dr. 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 is compassionate, collaborative, and focused on the whole person because therapy isn’t just about addressing problems, it’s about unlocking your potential.
Clients come to me for support with anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, trauma, and life transitions. I also specialize in working with professionals, college students, and veterans who are navigating high stress or major changes. Together, we’ll uncover what’s holding you back, identify patterns that no longer serve you, and build practical tools to help you thrive.
In our sessions, you’ll find a safe, nonjudgmental space where you are seen, heard, and understood. You’ll walk away with greater clarity, stronger coping skills, healthier boundaries, and a renewed sense of confidence and purpose. My goal is for you to leave each session feeling supported, empowered, and inspired to take meaningful steps forward in your life. You don’t have to face this alone. Healing starts with the first step—and I’d be honored to walk alongside you on your journey.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
Going through therapy with a therapist can be a very beneficial experience for individuals who want to work through their mental health challenges and improve their overall well-being. Here are some steps you can take to make the most of your therapy experience:
- Find the right therapist: The first step is to find a therapist who is a good fit
for you. Look for someone who specializes in the type of issues you want
to address and whose style matches your preferences. I hope I can be
that person for you.
-Set clear goals: It's important to have clear goals for therapy so that you
and I are on the same page. In our first session, we will discuss your goals
and work together to create a treatment plan that outlines the steps you
will take to achieve those goals.
- Try to be open and honest with me about your thoughts, feelings, and
behaviors. I am here to help you, and I can only do so if I have a clear
understanding of what's going on.
- Trust the process: Therapy can be a long process, and it's important to
trust that the work you're doing with me will pay off in the end. It's also
important to be patient and not expect instant results.
- Practice self-care: In addition to attending therapy sessions, it's important
to practice self-care on a regular basis. This may include activities such as
exercise, meditation, or spending time with loved ones.
- Keep an open mind: Finally, it's important to keep an open mind and be
willing to try new things. As your therapist, I may suggest different
techniques or approaches that you haven't tried before, and it's important
to be receptive to these suggestions.
Remember, therapy is a collaborative process between you and me, so be sure to communicate your thoughts and concerns along the way. With the right mindset and a willingness to work, therapy can be a transformative experience that helps you achieve your goals and improve your quality of life.
