Daja Isom , LMHC

Daja Isom is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Washington with five years of experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, self-esteem, depression, and life transitions. Daja aims to make starting therapy feel manageable and straightforward. She emphasizes a calm, nonjudgmental atmosphere where people can talk plainly about what’s on their mind.

In sessions she listens first, then works with each person to set clear, practical goals. She blends techniques to match what a person needs, using approaches like EMDR, mindfulness, and solution-focused strategies when appropriate. Sessions center on small, doable steps rather than long lists of homework.

Daja pays attention to how identity and culture shape everyday struggles. She supports people facing discrimination, multicultural stress, and the emotional effects of aging or major life changes. Issues such as body image, self-love, workplace stress, divorce, and recovery from sexual assault are part of her focus areas.

People who prefer a direct, collaborative style may find her approach comfortable. She helps clients build coping skills, improve communication, and restore motivation. Daja emphasizes practical tools that can be used between sessions.

Her practice offers multiple ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging. The goal is to make it easier to keep therapy consistent during busy or hard seasons. She encourages prospective clients to take the first step toward clearer goals and better daily functioning.

How EMDR, Mindfulness, and Solution-Focused Care Work Online

EMDR, or Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, helps people process distressing memories by pairing focused attention with guided bilateral stimulation. It is often used when past events are affecting current stress, mood, or relationships.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and increase present-moment awareness. It can help with anxiety, stress, and managing strong emotions in day-to-day life.

Solution-Focused Therapy centers on identifying practical goals and small steps that move a person toward those goals. Sessions focus on what’s working now and how to build on strengths for quick, achievable change.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and how they respond to different techniques. This collaborative process helps decide whether EMDR, mindfulness, solution-focused work, or a mix will be most useful.

Online therapy offers flexibility for busy schedules. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction when tone and body language matter. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier to fit in a break from work. Live chat and text-based messaging support shorter check-ins, journaling-style exchanges, or ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent while managing everyday responsibilities.
