About DaNaysia
DaNaysia Reynolds is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Virginia with six years of experience in mental health and three years holding her LCSW. She helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, parenting concerns, depression, and major life changes. She lists social anxiety and phobia among her focus areas and works with adults and young adults starting at age 13.
Her sessions are conversational and practical. She uses straightforward tools to help people spot patterns, build coping skills, and make changes that fit real life. She pays attention to relationships and the systems around a person while focusing on what the client wants to change.
DaNaysia draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques such as cognitive behavioral ideas, skills from dialectical behavior approaches, and principles from acceptance and commitment work. She often uses behavioral strategies to practice new responses and to test what works outside the session. That means clients may leave with specific steps to try between meetings.
The approach is systems-based and strengths-focused, with attention to attachment and interpersonal effectiveness. She supports people through panic and mood problems, postpartum and pregnancy-related concerns, seasonal affective changes, and smoking or vaping cessation. Social anxiety and phobia are an identified area of focus.
She offers individual therapy for people aged 13 and older. Prospective clients should use the online matching process to review session options and schedule a first appointment.
How evidence-based techniques translate to online work
DaNaysia uses practical techniques drawn from cognitive behavioral ideas and acceptance and commitment approaches. Cognitive behavioral methods focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying new behaviors to reduce anxious reactions. Acceptance and commitment principles help people notice difficult feelings and choose actions that match their values despite discomfort.She also uses skills that come from dialectical behavior approaches to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. These skills are presented in short, usable steps so clients can practice them between sessions. Deciding which methods to use is a collaborative process; the therapist and client review what matters, try approaches, and adjust based on what helps most.
