About Me
Danita A. Byrd, MS. LMHC.
Licensed Mental Health Counselor
I earned my Masters in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Jacksonville University, a Council for Accreditation of Counseling and Related Educational Program (CACREP) approved program. I gained extensive hands on experience working with adults who struggle with trauma, substance abuse issues, anxiety, grief and depression through a community practice and substance abuse facility. I enjoy working with adults to help them gain insight into their past to improve their present and future. I provide a comfortable, safe place to talk, explore, and tackle life’s challenges.
Approaches: In my work I integrate a variety of therapeutic approaches. I use a collaborative evidence based approach to counseling with the following modalities; Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) and Holistic Therapy. My goal for each session is to tailor it to the unique needs and personality of each individual client. It’s important that my clients feel my compassion, empathy, humor and straight forward approach in sessions.
Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is a form of psychological treatment that has been demonstrated to be effective for a range of problems including depression, anxiety disorders, alcohol and drug use problems, marital problems, eating disorders, and severe mental illness. Numerous research studies suggest that CBT leads to significant improvement in functioning and quality of life. (www.APA.org)
Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) is a short-term goal-focused evidence-based therapeutic approach, which incorporates positive psychology principles which help clients change by constructing solutions rather than focusing on their problems.
Holistic psychotherapy, an integrative approach grounded in psychosynthesis, focuses on the relationship between mind, body, and spirit, attempting to understand and address the ways issues in one aspect of a person can lead to concerns in other areas.
Those pursuing holistic therapy may, with the support of a qualified mental health professional, become better attuned to their entire awareness, which can often promote greater acceptance of the self. (www.goodtherapy.org)
Psyche is defined as, the human soul, mind or spirit. It is all connected! I believe counseling people is a calling and I take that responsibility seriously.
“Therapy is not magic. It’s a journey through life’s challenges with a non-judgmental professional by your side.” ~ Danita Byrd

Good Faith Estimate
You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical care will cost.
Under the law, healthcare providers need to give patients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the bill for medical items and services.
You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency items or services. This includes related costs like medical tests, prescription drugs, equipment and hospital fees.
Make sure your healthcare provider gives you a Good Faith Estimate in writing at least one business day before your medical service or item. You can also ask your healthcare provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule an item or service.
If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill.
Make sure to save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate.
