Hi There! Nice to meet you!
My name is Daina McAdams, I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Michigan and Georgia. I help adults who feel stuck in a place of unhappiness or uncertainty. My clients include people who struggle with major life changes and adjustments, symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress management.
A bit about my approach
Sometimes, through our best efforts, life can become muddled, and we find ourselves stuck in a place of unhappiness or uncertainty. We all experience challenging times, whether it is due to depression, anxiety, or life stresses. Counseling can be a safe space to process these experiences and learn new strategies for coping with these challenges. I very much like a positive and person-centered approach, meaning you are in charge and we go at your speed. I also utilize Cognitive Behavioral therapy, which uses soft challenging to reframe your thoughts, and Mindfulness, to help you be in the present moment.
I currently see clients Tuesdays and Wednesdays from 9am-5pm

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.

Daina is amazing. She listens without interrupting me and she provides positive and constructive feedback. I highly recommend her.
Daina has been such a blessing for me. She listens with respect and understanding and always has a plan or a way for me to manage what I’m going through. I am so appreciative of her!
She has been a breathe of fresh air and exactly what I needed
Daina is extremely supportive and communicative! I highly recommend her and appreciate our sessions!
Before I met Daina, I struggled finding a therapist who I clicked with. I'm grateful for her compassion & down-to-earth nature. She is EXACTLY what I needed & I'm glad I matched with her!
A beautiful, compassionate, & understanding human being who goes above & beyond for her patients. She is a godsend!
I needed a safe place to share my life, stressors and ideas. I didn’t need someone to tell me how to fix myself, but rather someone to share in the journey with me leading the way. Daina has been my sounding board, confidant, and friend in these last few months together. I highly recommend not only better help to make therapy accessible to all people, but Daina specifically for her patience, kindness and guidance when it comes to therapy and life.
Listen to all problems and provide solutions
Diana is very lovely! She gets to know you and always checks in! I’m glad I was originally matched with her!
I love Diana, she is consistent even if I’m not the best at responding. Totally recommend
Daina Sutton takes the time to get to know you and will ask questions to ensure she has a clear view of your concerns and what you’d like to get out of therapy. She is amazing and open to many tools for helping her clients.
I love Daina, she’s incredibly helpful and insightful. Even in the brief amount of time we have per week, and despite the difficulty of putting in the work, I really feel a wave of relief with every session.
I bounced around with a few therapists on Betterhelp and the third time is the charm. Daina sets clear expectations, creates a defined plan of care, and in every session I come away with a new insight about myself and the world and feel more in control of my mental health.
Daina has been incredibly helpful for me to really reflect and be able to work through a lot that has happened to me in the past few years. She listens and is very respectful of my needs.
Very lovely lady
Daina is so insightful! She literally changed how I perceive my situation and gave me a deeper understanding of what might be transpiring. Her help was invaluable. I highly recommend Daina!!
I am so grateful that I was originally matched with Daina! When I was able to stop therapy before, she made it abundantly clear that I could resume therapy with her at any point if I ever felt the need. Well, the need definitely came back in spades! She is just the right person for me, and I am so glad and relieved to be able to pick right back up with her instead of having to have started new with someone else. She is just the right balance of all the things I need most in a therapist.
I believe Diana is very kind and helpful.
Daina has been so incredibly helpful. She's always responsive and checks in with me. I never feel like I am alone because I can always reach out to her if I need a little emotional support.
She is precisely the person I need. Excellent match up!
She does an awesome job, she’s very attentive and gives lots of suggestions on how to deal with certain situations.
