About Tiffany

Tiffany Washington is a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) based in Michigan who helps people facing money stress and other life challenges find clearer next steps. She focuses on practical change and wants clients to leave sessions with tools they can use right away. Her style centers on respect, empathy, and straightforward problem solving.

She brings 19 years in social work to the room and a background in career strategy and substance use concerns. Tiffany earned a Bachelor of Social Work from Marygrove College and a Master of Social Work from Wayne State University, and she has been licensed in Michigan since 2011. That experience shapes how she supports people through transitions and difficult decisions.

Sessions are designed around a client's goals. Tiffany uses evidence-informed methods like cognitive behavioral techniques and mindfulness to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try new skills. The work often includes planning practical steps, testing strategies between sessions, and tracking what helps.

She also draws on acceptance and commitment principles to help people clarify values and tolerate uncomfortable feelings while moving toward change. For those dealing with substance use, career shifts, or relationship strain, she combines motivation-focused conversations with concrete life-management skills.

Tiffany encourages a collaborative process where clients set the pace and priorities. She aims to make therapy straightforward and useful, helping people gain confidence, reduce overwhelm, and take manageable steps toward their goals.

How therapy approaches translate to online work

Tiffany uses cognitive behavioral strategies to help people spot thinking and behavior patterns that affect mood and decisions. That approach breaks problems into small parts and tests new actions to see what changes. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps clients clarify what matters to them and take steps even when feelings are difficult, which supports long-term behavior change.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Tiffany will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and comfort level. She adapts tools and exercises so they fit into daily life rather than forcing a single technique on everyone.

If you prefer online sessions, confirm the session formats available before booking since specific formats were not listed. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when days are tight. Talk with Tiffany about what will fit your routine and she will help shape sessions that are practical and usable.
