More about me

Licensing: MSSA, LISW-S Years in Practice: 18 State: Ohio

At the start of 2022 I realized that through BetterHelp I could finally reach my goal to work private practice full - time. Through my career, I have primarily worked with adults in various settings, but in 2016 shifted my dedication to teenagers in the criminal justice system. I have Hospice experience which is where I gained my passion for grief and loss as well as dealing with phase of life changes. This hit home to me hard, in 2016 as I watched and cared for my mother who battled Ovarian Cancer. She passed away November 2019 and I took a step back from my private practice work and just focused on my healing as well as my work at the Juvenile Center. In August of 2020, I started back up with private practice and did this with BetterHelp. Once 2022 hit, I was ready to transition from working with teens in the juvenile justice system and the parents of juvenile delinquency, to taking a step with BetterHelp full time. I have experience with inpatient psychiatric care, crisis intervention, hospice, and chronic medical illness, as well as a wide range of mental health and relationship issues. I have a passion for helping people find peace of mind and strength to work on the challenges that they are facing.

About online counseling

Online counseling allows you to receive care from an online mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Awesome. She's amazing

Dayna is the best therapist I have ever had. She is so caring, knowledge and professional . She listens well and always provide great advice. I was through a very difficult time when I started working with her and my situation has improved significantly. I can't imagine being where am now without her support.

Dayna is the best therapist on the platform. You are lucky if you can schedule time with her.

Dayna has been professional and helpful

I greatly appreciate Dayna's counseling expertise to work through my anxiety, depression, and now grief at the loss of my father. She has given me great tools and checks in when she knows I am having a tough time. I trust her to help me work through each of my problems and talk through anything I am worried about.

She’s is wonderful!! She listens. She provides honest feedback. She wants the best for me and not afraid to call me out on when I’m not being realistic. I appreciate her and the help she provides me.

Dayna is great. I have been seeing her for over a year and she continues to go at my pace even when I don’t realize what my pace needs to be. She knows when we need to slow down if what we are working on is too intense. That shows her expertise, ability and desire to really help me. She is honest when feedback is needed that maybe I don’t want to hear but she also is very compassionate and driven to help me heal . She challenges me to continue to grow and better myself. She is … “simply the best.” :)

Shes great

She is the upmost professional and thoughtful therapist. Gives you examples of how to speak to people in which you may have conflict and pushes you to think outside the box. The amount of coping mechanisms and strategies she can offer is remarkable. Truly has an art for her craft in this profession! 100 percent recommend

Dayna has been amazing throughout my entire therapy experience. I truly feel like she cares about me, she makes a point to check in when we have a tough session, and she's so encouraging. I'm so grateful that I matched with her. She's been a great fit for me and is really helping me to challenge my thinking and give me the tools I need to improve my mental health.

I have been seen Dayna for a short time, however she has been amazingly supportive and adaptable to wherever our conversations and my needs may take us. We have started working on some tools that are truly helping me rethink how I think about my negative thoughts. I've already started to feel less anxiety in some of my triggering situations. Hopefully with the tools and work we will continue that trend.

I am thankful to have found Dayna. Not only is Dayna knowledgeable in psychiatric health, she also understands that different needs should be met with different ways of assistance. Dayna treats me as an individual and sees me as a whole that's more than my trauma, my diagnosis, and my past. She follows up with me and sends me worksheets that she thinks will benefit my understanding, I know she cares. Through my short time with her (turning into long time), I can see that she is truly passionate in her profession and in helping patients. She does not sugar coat like many would and she does not just sit back and nod. Dayna tells me as it is and she provides feedback, showing me, that she is actually listening to me during our sessions. I appreciate having found Dayna and look forward to continuing on the road of understanding myself and healing. Dayna is truly one of those people who cares from the heart.

She is the best! Always has a suggestion/solution for me. Very helpful!!

Dayna is an incredible listener and offers insights on how she has handled similar situations. I feel like she has taken the time to get to know me and offer me advice on how to best handle situations where I feel stuck.

Dayna is great therapist and because of her ability to listen and challenge me to work hard and believe that I can make changes to better myself , I have felt strongly to recommend Better Help to many people. The platform is great. The video talks, the texting within the app and also the audio with her reading articles is so nice. Its worked great to be able to do this all online. Dayna is personable, kind ,funny, very knowledgeable and patient but definitely keeps me working and holds me accountable. I feel this is very important. She doesn’t give me answers but encourages me to figure it out with her guidance. She is great with getting me resources for the many questions I have. She is a gem!

Dayna has been fantastic in helping me understand and work through the situation I am in. I couldn't ask for a better therapist.

Dayna is professional, warm, and real. I feel I can easily share with her what is on my mind and she responds to me quickly.

Dayna is an amazing therapist. She listens well and challenges me when needed. I enjoy talking with her and count her as a friend in addition to a therapist.

Dayna is easy to talk with and patient. I appreciate her assistance with helping me work through some things.

I recommended BetterHelp to a friend after just 2 sessions. My friend was happy for the tip.

Dayna is very easy to talk to. She's given me great advice so far and I feel like I've made a good amount of progress in a short amount of time.

I appreciate that Dayna seems to be gathering a complete picture of me as she helps me make a little progress each week. Other therapists have latched on to things I've initially said without digging for things that could be bigger issues or things I could not remember at the time.

At first I wasn't sure about trying therapy but after a few weeks I can say that I'm more than happy that I did and I'm happy I got Dayna as my therapist! She's amazing, she's helpful, she understands what I'm feeling and going through and even if she doesn't fully understand she tries her hardest to be as helpful as possible when it comes to problems that might be happening in your life.

Very attentive and works great with understanding your concerns. Her reading materials are spot on, and she checks frequently with you through texts.

Dayna is a great counselor! She is very consistent, dependable, and extremely supportive. I am thankful to have had her support throughout 2021 as I faced many major life-changes, difficult workplace relationships, and anxiety and depression. She has taught me to use journaling, meditation, and everyday mindfulness to challenge negative thoughts and find something good about each day. I could not be more appreciative of the attention and support she has given me over the past year. Thank you, Dayna!

Dayna is personable and really takes the time to listen. She also sends resources and is willing to work through those as well. I would recommend her to anyone/everyone. She truly cares about her clients.

Kind, compassionate, helpful and understanding.
