Dayna Hunt, LMFT

Dayna Hunt is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in California with 27 years of experience. She works with adults on relationship strain, family and parenting concerns, mood and anxiety, grief, trauma, addiction, and life transitions. She also addresses blended family issues, divorce and separation, postpartum concerns, and common struggles like guilt, shame, and isolation.

Dayna grew up in Northern California and has lived in Southern California and Seattle. She completed a Bachelor of Science at California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo, and a Master of Science in Counseling Psychology at Dominican University in San Rafael. Her career spans private practice, family service agencies, schools, and corporate settings.

Her approach draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, EMDR, and a client-centered, Rogerian stance. In sessions she focuses on practical skills - improving communication, setting boundaries, and building distress tolerance and emotion regulation. She also helps people look at how their thoughts shape behavior and relationships.

Dayna aims to help adults reduce conflict and increase clearer communication at home. She works directly on parenting concerns, blended family dynamics, and the strain that major life changes bring. Her work includes concrete tools and conversational problem solving rather than abstract theory.

People who choose her often want straightforward support for family problems, parenting stress, or relationship friction. She asks questions, listens to the story, and helps map small, workable changes that fit everyday life.
