About John
John Daughtrey is a Licensed Certified Social Worker (LCSW-C) and Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Maryland with six years of clinical experience. He focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, anger, self-esteem, and related concerns. He also helps people dealing with parenting challenges, career stress, relationship and intimacy issues, and the strain of life changes.
He describes his work as a blend of brain- and body-based approaches, with a primary focus on Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing. In sessions he uses techniques that involve eye movements and other bilateral stimulation to help process difficult memories. He frames these methods as tools to update old patterns so people can respond to current life demands with less distress.
John also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, attachment-informed ideas, client-centered listening, and mindfulness practices. That means sessions can include values-focused work, attention to relationships and attachment patterns, and practical mindfulness exercises for everyday stress. He aims to teach skills people can use between sessions to handle strong emotions and repeated triggers.
He has worked across age groups earlier in his career and lists attention to young adult issues, ADHD, autism and Asperger syndrome, and workplace problems among his focus areas. He also addresses grief, shame and guilt, social anxiety, and post-traumatic stress concerns.
Sessions are conducted in English and he does not accept international clients. Cost varies by location and sessions are delivered through a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, visitors are asked to use the online matching and scheduling process to book a first session.
BHow sessions work
How John’s approaches translate to online sessions
John commonly uses Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) alongside attachment-aware and client-centered work. EMDR involves guided bilateral stimulation and focused memory processing to address trauma and related symptoms such as PTSD, shame, and guilt. ACT helps people clarify personal values and build flexible responses to painful thoughts and feelings rather than trying to eliminate them.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, concerns, and comfort level. That plan can change as progress is made and as different issues come up during therapy.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm the current online session options before booking. Many clients find online sessions practical for fitting therapy into a busy life - they can save travel time, allow shorter check-ins during a workday, or make it easier to maintain continuity when schedules shift. The therapist will discuss the best way to structure sessions so they fit daily responsibilities while addressing clinical goals.
