Dayna Pitzer, LISW, LICSW

Dayna Pitzer is an LISW (Licensed Independent Social Worker) and LICSW (Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker) practicing in Ohio with 18 years of experience. She focuses on common life stresses such as anxiety, depression, anger, and parenting strain. Dayna also addresses trauma, grief, caregiving stress, ADHD, and relationship concerns.

Dayna spent much of her career working with adults in a variety of clinical settings. In 2016 she began concentrating on adolescents involved with the juvenile justice system and the parents affected by those situations. She also has experience in inpatient psychiatric care and crisis intervention.

Hospice work shaped Dayna's approach to grief, loss, and major life transitions. She also cared for a close family member through a cancer diagnosis, which influenced her work with people facing illness, end-of-life issues, and caregiver burden. Her background includes supporting clients dealing with chronic pain, chronic illness, and medical-related stress.

Dayna draws on approaches such as client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), mindfulness, and motivational interviewing. Sessions focus on practical coping skills, clearer communication, and manageable steps toward daily functioning. She helps people identify what matters and then works with them on concrete next steps.

People who choose Dayna often want steady, practical help with the pressures of family life, parenting responsibilities, work stress, and the grief that follows major losses. She offers English-language services and practices from Ohio, and she does not take international clients.
