Dr. Deirdre Adduci

Therapist

Virtual • Ohio


Hi, my name is Dr. Deirdre Adduci and I believe that when two people work together, we can achieve great things and that together we can become a team that is able to assess and achieve your goals. Sometimes life can be difficult and it can be challenging, but I do believe that teamwork helps to improve our outlook and also to strategize ways to move forward. At times, people will tell me that they feel stuck, but often times this is merely because working alone we may not be able to see all of our options and possible solutions. I do believe that there are solutions that we haven’t even yet. We can do that together. I received my undergraduate education at The Ohio State University, where I studied criminology, my masters degree and counseling from Youngstown State University and my PhD from The University of Akron. I have my independent license in Counseling(LPCC-S),Marriage and Family Counseling (LIMFT), my independent license, my independent license in Chemical Dependency Counseling (LICDC-S) and a license and social work (LSW). I always tell my clients that I could not do what I do if I did not so passionately believe that counseling truly works. Your best thinking got you here looking at our profiles and I am really proud that you have step. I hope to work with you and become part of your team.

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.
