Dr. Dinah Meyer

Dr. Dinah Meyer is a counseling psychologist licensed in Ohio with more than 25 years of experience. She helps adults and adolescents navigate stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, grief, and life transitions. Dinah aims to build a warm, empathic connection that supports real change.

She earned a PhD in Counseling Psychology from Ohio State University and holds an M.A. in Developmental Psychology. Her career includes work in community mental health, private practice, and school settings, and she also teaches psychology at a university in Ohio.

Her sessions blend practical, solution-focused steps with cognitive behavioral techniques. She encourages people to set the agenda in sessions and uses strategies that can be practiced between meetings. The goal is to help clients make steady progress toward clear goals.

Dinah has experience addressing trauma, PTSD, compassion fatigue, COVID-19 related distress, and postpartum mood concerns. She also supports people dealing with family of origin issues, blended family challenges, body image concerns, and intimacy-related struggles including isolation and loneliness.

Her style is described as warm and compassionate, with an emphasis on building a trusting working relationship. She helps clients identify strengths and learn skills they can use outside of therapy to manage symptoms and cope with life changes.

Approach-Focused Online Care with Practical Strategies

Dr. Meyer uses client-centered and cognitive behavioral approaches that translate well to remote work. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely, validating experiences, and building a trusting relationship so clients can explore what matters to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thoughts and patterns, and teaches concrete skills people can practice between sessions to reduce anxiety and depression.

She views the therapeutic approach as something to decide together. Early sessions are used to understand goals, try a few techniques, and adapt the approach based on what feels most helpful. The therapist and client collaborate to pick strategies that match needs, preferences, and life demands.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the session formats before booking since options are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also lets people try different tools between meetings and bring real-life situations into discussion for practical problem solving.
