About John
John Daughtrey, MD, LCSW-C, LCSW offers a practical, down-to-earth approach to therapy. He focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship or identity concerns. Sessions aim to give clear tools people can use between meetings to feel steadier and more in control.
He integrates EMDR - Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing - with mindfulness and acceptance-based methods. EMDR is used to help process stuck or painful memories, while mindfulness and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy support present-moment skills and values-based choices.
Background and approach
The overall aim is to reduce distress and build coping skills that fit everyday life. John brings six years of professional experience to his work in Maryland. His background includes helping people with anger, self-esteem, grief, intimacy-related issues, career stress, parenting concerns, and ADHD, among other areas.
He also focuses on attachment issues, social anxiety, workplace challenges, and navigating life transitions. Sessions are offered in English and are available through video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Pricing varies with location and uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.
International clients are not accepted. To begin, a person selects the Start Therapy button, completes a short matching questionnaire, and schedules according to therapist availability. The process is straightforward and designed to match practical needs with an appropriate approach.

Online support
How EMDR, ACT, and attachment work online
EMDR helps the brain process difficult memories by pairing focused attention with bilateral stimulation; it can be used for past trauma, lingering shame, or intrusive memories. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and choosing actions that match personal values, which can reduce avoidance and increase motivation. Attachment-based work looks at patterns in relationships to help people build safer ways of relating and reduce anxiety about closeness.Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, symptoms, and preferences, then try methods that fit. Sessions may combine approaches over time so people learn both immediate coping tools and deeper processing work when it feels appropriate.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video is useful for longer psychotherapy work and EMDR-style processing when camera and bandwidth allow. Phone sessions can be shorter check-ins or a lower-bandwidth option. Live chat and text messaging work well for brief check-ins, homework support, or when someone needs to send a quick update between sessions. These options make it easier to fit care into busy schedules and to continue work across life changes.
