Daphne Jakstis, LCSW, LICSW — Therapist in Pennsylvania

Hi there, I'm Daphne!

I keep up to date with the latest advances in evidence-based therapy practices and incorporate them into my work with clients. Whether you are struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, or any other issue, I will help you fully realize your strengths and provide you with skills to help you manage challenges in healthier ways.

My focus

I am pagan-friendly, poly-friendly, and LGBTQIA-friendly. I specialize in treating trauma, anxiety, and depression.

My approach

Healing is a holistic approach, so I combine evidence-based practices with complementary approaches to promote overall wellness. I realize that no two people are the same, so I tailor my approaches to best fit your specific needs. I will help you fully realize your strengths and provide you with skills to manage challenges in healthier ways.

My communication style

I am straightforward in my work with clients. I consider your time valuable, so I like to get right to work helping you work towards your goals and feel better as soon as possible.

My journey to mental healthcare

I started college as an anthropology major but fell in love with psychology and changed my major. The most rewarding aspect of my work is seeing my clients grow, feel better, and reach their goals.

My goals for you

Goal setting is a collaborative approach. I will ask you what your goals for therapy are and then we will work together to devise a plan for you to reach your goals.

Our first session

During our first session, we will complete an overall assessment so that I can get a bigger picture of your challenges and your goals. We will then discuss the best ways that I can help you to reach your individual therapy goals.
