About Daphne
Daphne Santiful is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in North Carolina with 32 years of experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, parenting concerns, low self-esteem, depression, and big life changes. Daphne uses clear, practical conversation to help people find steady ways to cope.
She draws on therapies like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and client-centered approaches.

Daphne encourages people to set realistic goals and test what works in day-to-day life.
Her practice addresses relationship and family complexities such as blended family issues, communication problems, divorce and separation, and caregiver stress. She also works with concerns like codependency, commitment problems, infidelity, guilt, shame, and feelings of emptiness or isolation. Practical problem-solving and clearer communication are frequent focuses.
Therapy with Daphne often involves short skill-building tasks between sessions. She uses motivational interviewing to help people clarify priorities and make change feel manageable. Sessions mix talking, feedback, and small practice steps so progress can show up in routines.
People who choose her typically want straightforward tools they can use at home and work. Her long experience in clinical social work informs a grounded approach that pays attention to everyday pressures like family roles, work demands, and caregiving responsibilities.
BHow sessions work
How Daphne uses therapeutic approaches in online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It is useful when someone feels stuck by anxiety, low mood, or uncertainty about life direction. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thought patterns and trying practical behavior changes to ease symptoms like anxiety and depression. It often involves homework such as tracking thoughts or testing new behaviors. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and reflecting so people feel heard while they decide on next steps; this approach supports clearer communication and personal decision making.Figuring out which approach fits best is part of the work. Daphne will collaborate with each person to match methods to their goals, preferences, and daily demands. That means trying approaches, checking what helps, and adjusting as needed rather than committing to one method from the start.
Confirm current session options before booking so you know which formats are offered. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments around work, caregiving, or travel. They also allow shorter check-ins when time is limited and let people avoid travel time while still doing therapeutic exercises and homework that translate into everyday life.
