Aubrey Byrd

Aubrey Byrd

Therapist

Virtual • Ohio


Reaching out for therapy can feel like a big step, especially if you’re used to managing everything on your own. I work with adults, including many caregivers who are balancing a lot and may feel overwhelmed, stretched thin, or unsure how to prioritize themselves while caring for others.

I’ve supported clients navigating anxiety, depression, burnout, life transitions, relationship challenges, grief, trauma, and parenting stress.

I also bring extensive experience working with children and adolescents (ages 4–21), which allows me to support parents with a deeper understanding of child and adolescent development. This helps caregivers better understand their child’s behavior and feel more confident in how they respond at home.

Find the right therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Mental Health Therapist in Dayton, OH

Searching for therapists in Dayton starts with knowing what kind of support you want. Therapists may help with anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, life transitions, trauma, and work stress. As you compare options, look for a therapist whose listed specialties, training, and approach match what you want to focus on. Provider bios can also show whether a therapist uses approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, or trauma-informed care.

Dayton has a smaller local provider market than larger Ohio cities, so virtual therapy can expand your options beyond nearby offices while still keeping care connected to your schedule. Some people prefer in-person sessions near downtown Dayton, Kettering, or the Miami Valley, while others choose virtual appointments for more flexibility. When narrowing your search, consider appointment availability, whether the therapist is accepting new clients, free phone consultation options, and the therapist’s communication style. Reading profiles before booking can help you understand what sessions may feel like and whether the therapist’s approach fits your needs.

Therapy in Dayton can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before care begins. Headway helps you find therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, show upfront cost estimates, and are accepting new patients. You can browse therapists in Dayton, review bios, compare availability, and book directly when you’re ready.

1 Cost may vary based on your location, age, and insurance coverage.
