About John

John Daughtrey is a therapist based in Maryland who blends attachment-focused work with practical tools to help people manage stress, anxiety, trauma, and everyday struggles. He holds an MD and is licensed as an LCSW-C and LCSW, and brings six years of clinical experience to his practice. He speaks English and offers sessions through video, phone, live chat, and text messaging.

John aims to make therapy straightforward and usable. Sessions focus on building stronger emotional connections to reduce isolation and improve relationships.

Background and approach

He uses approaches that help people notice patterns, tolerate strong feelings, and make choices that match their values. His background includes work with trauma, grief, depression, anger, and issues around identity and intimacy. He integrates methods that address difficult memories and the physical responses that can come with them.

This means talking through problems, practicing mindfulness, and using targeted techniques when past experiences keep showing up in daily life. John also supports people with attention differences, workplace stress, parenting concerns, and the challenges of young adulthood. He helps those coping with shame, guilt, impulsivity, and problems with communication or control.

His approach is collaborative: clients set goals and John offers tools to reach them. For practical matters, cost varies by location and uses a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, a person selects the Start Therapy button, completes a short matching questionnaire, and schedules according to therapist availability.

Online support

How attachment work and trauma methods fit online therapy

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early connections shape current relationships and emotional responses. Online sessions can help people notice patterns in how they relate to others and practice new ways of connecting and communicating. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) teaches practical skills to accept difficult thoughts and commit to actions that match personal values. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and life changes and adapts well to conversations and exercises over video or text. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) targets distressing memories and their physical effects, using guided techniques that can be adapted for remote sessions to help process past events.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the person to identify goals, try methods that fit their needs, and adjust as progress is made. That collaborative process helps match attachment-focused insight, acceptance-based skills, or trauma-focused techniques to what actually helps the individual.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can fit a short break at work or require less bandwidth. Live chat and text messaging support quick check-ins, journaling prompts, or ongoing coaching between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life while continuing to use attachment, ACT, and trauma-focused work.
