Dayna Pitzer

Dayna Pitzer is a licensed social worker with 18 years of clinical experience. She practices in Ohio and brings a long history of work in inpatient psychiatric care, crisis intervention, and hospice settings. Dayna focuses on grief and end-of-life concerns alongside more common issues like stress, anxiety, and depression.

Her style is warm and practical. Sessions tend to center on what people are facing day to day. She breaks problems into manageable steps and helps clients practice new skills between visits.

Dayna has worked with adults in many settings and spent several years supporting teenagers involved in the juvenile justice system. That background informs how she talks about behavior, boundaries, and safety. She also has experience supporting people through chronic illness and caregiving strains.

Common priorities in her work include coping with life changes, processing grief, and reducing burnout from caregiving and compassion fatigue. She also addresses relationship concerns, trauma, parenting stress, attention challenges, and anger or impulsivity.

Therapeutic tools she uses include client-centered methods, cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior strategies, mindfulness practices, and motivational interviewing. Dayna aims to help people find more calm and greater confidence as they move through difficult periods.

Approaches that guide online sessions

Client-centered therapy focuses on the person in front of the therapist. It emphasizes listening, empathy, and helping people find their own solutions to problems like grief, relationship strain, or career stress.

Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches practical exercises to change unhelpful thinking and reduce anxiety, depression, or anger through small behavioral steps.

Dialectical behavior therapy, DBT, offers tools for handling intense emotions and improving how someone manages impulsivity and relationships. It includes skills for distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and clearer communication.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will listen to your goals and try methods that fit your needs and preferences. That collaborative process helps shape which techniques are used over time.
