More about Dalyn
- 7 years' experience
- Male
- LMFT
I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in Michigan with 7 years of experience working with diverse populations. I have worked with clients struggling with a wide range of concerns such as anxiety, trauma, depression, low self-esteem, relationship struggles, career struggles, difficulties with their sense of self, existential concerns, and adjustments to life events or transitions.
My style and approach to therapy is collaborative, attentive and empathetic. I focus on the client’s strengths and highlight those strengths to address client’s concerns and or struggles. I approach therapy from a client centered perspective. In other words, I am not the expert on you, however I will do my best in helping you facilitate, participate and challenge yourself on your journey to growth, healing, and change. Concrete, reachable goals, time and space that is for you and unconditional positive regard, I believe are pillars of therapy that create a therapeutic environment with you (the client) in mind. Therapy is not easy. Therapy can be euphoric one session and heavy the next, but ultimately restorative and fulfilling. If you are committed to your personal well-being and want someone to support and guide with you, I am here and ready when you are. I look forward to working with you.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

He is fantastic!
This is my first time doing any type of therapy, and I was nervous to start. I feel very comfortable talking to Dayln and am grateful for his help.
Dalyn is an incredible listener. I truly appreciate the insights he brings to my issues as I'm talking. He's very thoughtful as I speak and is clearly engaged with ways to help me. Thanks!
Dalyn helped me feel stronger after one phone call, he showed me that he is here to coach me through my struggles!
Dalyn is an outstanding listener and a great therapist.
I've tried a few different therapists on BetterHelp and Dalyn was by far the best match for me. He is very thoughtful, kind, and calming and is always respectful even when discussing topics that are embarrassing or anxiety-provoking for me. I really appreciate the way he takes the time to think about what I've said and reframe or summarize the issue I raised in a different way to help me think through different aspects of the issue and how/why I feel the way I do about it. I've had an overall great experience with him so far and I look forward to continuing to discuss issues with him.
I have completed several weeks with Dalyn and so grateful for his help. He always had my best interest in mind and helped me to arrive with clear thoughts about what I was experiencing in my relationship. I needed to make a difficult decision to end my relationship and it was not a decision that I necessarily saw coming. The focus of our sessions never was should I be in or out of a relationship, it was always about what I was experiencing, how it affected me, what I can do or say about my thoughts and helped me each week to proceed. If I hadn't had Dalyn with me over these last several weeks I truly believe I would be in a much less healthy place mentally. It is not an easy place that I am finding myself- a loss of a partner, but it is a place I feel confident that I was conscience in the process of learning and making decisions that work best for me and for me to feel confident and secure. I highly recommend Betterhelp and Dalyn in particular.
Dalyn has been a tremendous help on my journey towards self-improvement and understanding. He listens well, asks thought provoking and insightful questions, and above all has a way of “connecting the dots” between thoughts/actions and the reasons why these things occur. Would highly, highly recommend Dalyn!
Dalyn is a wonderful listener and a great therapist. Highly recommended.
Dalyn is pleasant to work with. He is patient, attentive, and compassionate. I am learning so much and finding a deeper perspective in my situation.
