Dayna Pitzer, LISW, LICSW

Dayna Pitzer is a licensed clinical social worker with LISW and LICSW credentials, licenses that authorize independent practice in clinical social work. She brings 18 years of experience working across diverse settings, including inpatient psychiatric care, crisis intervention, hospice, and services for individuals with chronic medical conditions.

Early in her career she worked primarily with adults, then in 2016 shifted her focus to teenagers involved in the juvenile justice system and to supporting their families. Her hospice work deepened a lasting interest in grief, loss, and the transitions that accompany different life phases. That interest was intensified by personal experience when her mother battled ovarian cancer; Dayna stepped away from private practice to prioritize healing during and after that period, returning to practice in August 2020.

Beginning in 2022 she transitioned to full-time private practice work through an online counseling service, expanding access to her clinical approach. She works with a wide range of mental health and relationship concerns and aims to help people build peace of mind and resilience as they face stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship struggles, and major life changes. Her background includes hands-on experience with grief and end-of-life care, juvenile justice populations, and complex medical and psychiatric needs, and she draws on that varied experience to offer grounded, strengths-based support.
