Daja Isom

Daja Isom is a licensed mental health counselor practicing in Washington with five years of clinical experience. She helps people who are overwhelmed by stress or anxiety, struggling with low self-esteem, or facing depression. Daja aims to make starting therapy feel manageable and straightforward for anyone ready to try a change.

She emphasizes a calm, nonjudgmental space where clients can speak honestly about their thoughts and feelings. Sessions focus on practical steps that fit everyday life. Daja uses mindfulness-based techniques to help people notice patterns of thinking and respond differently in the moment.

She also draws on solution-focused methods to identify small, achievable goals and build momentum between sessions. For clients who have experienced trauma, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing is part of the toolkit she may offer when appropriate. The work is paced to each person’s comfort and readiness.

Daja often supports people dealing with relationship strain, communication problems, commitment concerns, and the stress of life transitions like divorce or work change. She also addresses issues such as body image, workplace stress, isolation, and multicultural or discrimination-related concerns.

Her approach is straightforward and collaborative. Clients can expect clear, short-term goals alongside space for deeper reflection when needed. The focus is on practical relief and building skills that last beyond the therapy hour.

Mindfulness and Practical Methods for Online Care

Mindfulness Therapy helps people notice thoughts and bodily reactions as they happen. It teaches simple exercises to reduce reactivity and increase calm, which can help with stress, anxiety, and low mood.

Solution-Focused Therapy centers on small, specific goals and what steps move a person closer to them. It is useful when someone wants practical strategies and quick changes in day-to-day life.

EMDR, or Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, is an approach sometimes used for processing past disturbing experiences. It aims to reduce the intensity of difficult memories so they feel less disruptive in the present.

Finding the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will listen to your needs, discuss options, and try methods that match your goals and comfort level. If something does not feel like a good fit, adjustments are part of the plan.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, such as allowing shorter check-ins during work breaks or avoiding travel time. Because formats are not specified in this profile, confirm current session options before booking. Licensed professionals can adapt mindfulness exercises, solution-focused planning, and EMDR-informed work to many remote setups when appropriate.
