Jaquay Washington, LPC

Jaquay Washington is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who brings a compassionate, strengths-based approach to therapy. She recognizes that people do not always choose the situations they face, but believes they can regain agency and redirect their lives. In sessions she works with clients to examine the circumstances they inherited, identify options for change, and build confidence that meaningful progress is possible.

Washington aims to make the start of therapy less intimidating by offering steady guidance as clients embark on personal growth. She draws on a variety of evidence-based techniques to support empowerment, skill-building, and resilience so clients can meet life on life’s terms. Her practice emphasizes respect, warmth, and a nonjudgmental stance, creating space for honest exploration and healing.

Having worked with children, adolescents, and adults across different settings, she is experienced with diverse populations and attentive to each person’s unique needs. Her holistic focus considers emotional, relational, and practical factors that influence well-being. Whether addressing stress, anxiety, relationships, trauma and abuse, self esteem, or depression, Washington partners with clients to strengthen coping, improve communication, and foster self-compassion.

Evidence-Based Approaches and Accessible Online Care

Jaquay Washington uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques tailored to each person's needs. She integrates trauma-informed practices that prioritize safety, pacing, and understanding for those affected by trauma and abuse, helping clients process experiences and reduce their impact on daily life. She also employs cognitive and behavioral skill-building - practical strategies to identify unhelpful thought patterns, develop coping skills for anxiety and depression, and change behaviors that undermine wellbeing. Additionally, her holistic, strengths-based approach focuses on empowerment and self-love by helping clients recognize personal resources and build healthier relationships.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Washington works with clients to explore which techniques fit their goals, preferences, and pace, adjusting methods as progress unfolds so treatment remains relevant and effective.

Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers convenient access to licensed professionals and therapists from home or wherever it is easiest for the client. These options provide flexibility in scheduling, allow therapy to continue through life transitions, and make it simpler to receive consistent support while balancing work, family, and other commitments.
