Daphne is fantastic. She helps you feel comfortable from the first interaction and always checks in via chat when she knows you’re having a hard time. She’s the best!

I've spent years trying to find the right therapist for me and I had almost given up. Daphne is a complete godsend. I'm so glad I found her. I knew after my first session with her that she was the one.

More about Daphne

  • 21 years' experience
  • Female
  • LICSW, LCSW

I am a therapist offering more than 20 years of experience helping my clients with a variety of issues. My area of specialty is trauma treatment. I hold certifications in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy and advanced clinical trauma treatment. I am a Certified Integrative Mental Health Provider and this allows me to use a combination of traditional evidence-based practices along with holistic approaches for overall wellness. A person's mental health is influenced by many different factors both internal and external. Our mental health can be influenced by our stress, our lack of connectedness to others, our diet, sleep issues, painful past experiences, and our environment. My skillset allows me to provide therapy that helps my clients reach all of their identified goals for wellness and quality of life.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.

Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Daphne is an incredible listener. She really takes the time to hear me out and asks all the right questions to get a better understanding before offering her expertise. I’ve felt so comfortable with her and she makes talking about the hardest things very easy

Daphne knows which actionable tools to use to help you. In addition to being a great listener, she is someone who will work with you to give you a “toolbox” to use in helping you work towards great mental health.

Daphne was extremely compassionate, caring, and listened to me. She was helpful, insightful, and backing up her suggestions with articles or other resources. I'm so thankful for Daphne and all of her help to manage the trauma that I experienced recently and how to cope.

Daphne is fantastic! She is empathetic, understanding, and patient. She is great with helping me understand how trauma affects the body and instills hope by letting me know that my brain and body can be retrained on how they view the world. Helps me to realize that my brain isn’t “broken” but just needs time, love, and patience to heal.

Daphne Jakstis helped me pull my life back on track. What more can I say? She is wise, thoughtful & kind. Her method of approach is practical; I was hesitant to seek help as I believed it would be an exploration of my entire life. Instead, Dr Jakstis gave me the tools needed to get through one more day. The relief was substantial & I have learned to incorporate these tools into my daily life when needed. She has been a gift to me.

I have only been with Daphne for a few weeks now, but I absolutely love it. I have not been a fan of therapy in the past, Daphne has made me feel comfortable and confident during our sessions. I’m excited to continue working with her.

Daphne is the best therapist that I have worked with. She works with me to question the thought patterns that have been causing stress and anxiety in my life, and does a fantastic job at helping me recognize those patterns that I was previously oblivious to. Thank you, Daphne.

Reviewed February 2022

Daphne is a caring and skilled therapist. She listens to me, offers up strategies, and validates my feelings. One thing I like about her most is while she listens to me and gives me appropriate responses, she doesn't sugar coat anything when it comes to my anxiety. She is matter of fact and always seems to ease my worries and gives me something to work on until our next meeting.
