About Dayna
Dayna Hunt is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who brings 27 years of experience to her work. She listens closely and helps people untangle painful thoughts and strained relationships. Her approach is practical and down-to-earth, focused on small changes that make daily life easier.
Dayna blends several therapies to match each person's needs. She uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help people notice and shift unhelpful thinking. She draws on dialectical behavior methods to teach emotion regulation, mindfulness, and better ways to handle stress.
Her client-centered stance means she starts where each person is. That often looks like helping someone improve communication, set clearer boundaries, or manage intense feelings. She also works with mood concerns such as depression and anxiety, and with issues around grief, parenting, and life transitions.
Dayna trained at California Polytechnic State University and earned her Master of Science in Counseling Psychology at Dominican University. Her career has included private practice, schools, family service agencies, and corporate settings. These varied roles shaped the practical, problem-solving style she brings to sessions.
Outside of therapy, Dayna spends time outdoors hiking and with family. She has lived in Northern and Southern California and in Seattle, and she brings that life experience to her work. If someone wants straightforward support for relationships, mood, or coping with change, she focuses on clear skills and steady progress.
