About Tiffany

Tiffany Washington is a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) practicing in Michigan with 19 years of experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship and family concerns, and a wide range of life transitions including career change and grief. Tiffany lists blended family issues among her additional focus areas. She offers practical help for people coping with sudden changes and ongoing strains.

Tiffany uses conversational, solution-focused work. Sessions emphasize clear steps and real skills rather than long theory talks. Clients can expect help untangling patterns that keep repeating and concrete options for moving forward.

Her background includes a Bachelor of Social Work from Marygrove College and a Master of Social Work from Wayne State University. Tiffany has held a Michigan LMSW since 2011 and has nearly two decades in social work settings that include career strategy and substance use concerns.

In practice she blends cognitive-behavioral tools with mindfulness and motivational approaches. That means she might outline simple behavior experiments, offer attention and grounding exercises, and work on practical plans for change.

When blended household issues come up she helps individuals sort roles, set boundaries, and communicate more clearly with partners or co-parents. Conversations aim to reduce daily friction and make routines easier to manage.

Tiffany approaches sessions in an interactive way that centers the client's immediate goals. People looking for straightforward, goal-oriented support for stress, substance concerns, career transitions, or relationship strain may find her style useful.

How her approaches translate to online work

Tiffany often draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her work. ACT focuses on helping people notice what matters to them and take actions that align with those values, which can help with motivation and role decisions in blended households. CBT breaks down thoughts and behaviors into manageable steps, useful for reducing anxiety, changing unhelpful patterns, and practicing new communication skills.

Finding the right approach is collaborative. She will talk with clients about their goals, try techniques, and adjust based on what helps. Sessions typically mix skill practice, goal setting, and short homework tasks so progress can be tracked between meetings.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow for brief check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Some formats also let people choose shorter sessions or audio-only meetings if that fits their day better. Licensed professionals adapt methods like ACT and CBT to work in these settings so clients can apply skills directly to home life and co-parenting routines.
