About Daphne

Daphne Hamburg is a licensed clinical social worker who focuses on practical, supportive therapy. She draws on five years of clinical experience to help people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma, mood concerns, and relationship or intimacy struggles. Her style is warm and interactive.

Sessions aim to build on a person's existing strengths and skills. Daphne avoids stigmatizing labels and treats people with respect and sensitivity. Early in her work she supported people who survived domestic violence and sexual assault and those working to change substance use patterns.

Background and approach

That background informs how she approaches trauma, safety, and substance-related goals today. She uses straightforward tools from cognitive behavioral therapy along with attachment-based ideas and client-centered conversation. She also draws from dialectical behavior strategies and EMDR when those approaches suit a person's needs.

Daphne is sex-positive and kink-aware and will tailor sessions to each person's situation and values. People who come for therapy can expect practical goals, skill building, and collaborative planning. She helps clients name clear steps, practice new habits, and check progress between meetings.

Daphne works with adults in Michigan and accepts international clients for online care. She holds LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker) and LMSW (Licensed Master Social Worker) credentials and uses them as part of her professional role. Daphne aims to support people as they take the first steps toward change and greater well-being.

Online support

Online therapy using attachment, CBT, and client-centered care

Online sessions with Daphne draw on attachment-based ideas to look at how past relationships shape current patterns. Attachment-based work helps people understand closeness, trust, and recurring relationship struggles and is useful for intimacy issues, family of origin concerns, and communication problems.

She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which focuses on changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. CBT offers concrete strategies for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and coping with life changes. In addition, her client-centered approach emphasizes listening and tailoring conversations so sessions reflect each person's goals and values.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Daphne will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit best, adjusting the plan over time as needs and goals change. The process is collaborative and paced to match what the person wants to accomplish.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and exercises, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed, live chat can suit shorter exchanges, and text messaging supports ongoing check-ins between meetings. These options offer flexibility so therapy can fit around work, caregiving, or travel.
