More about Donna

  • 4 years' experience
  • Female
  • LPC

I am a graduate of Loyola University (formally Loyola College) in Baltimore, MD, with a Masters in School Counseling. I also am a Licensed Professional Counselor. (LPC)

I have 16 years experience as a School Counselor. I work with teens with a wide variety of concerns including depression, peer conflicts, relationship issues , anger management, ADHD, and anxiety. I also have 4 years of experience working with adults online with similar issues.

I am genuine and interactive. I treat clients with respect and compassion. My approach combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Gesalt Therapy. . Both approaches are practical in dealing with specific problems. CBT involves the therapist and client work collaboratively to build a strong rapport that is crucial in the process. Gesalt Therapy helps clients to become more aware of specific issues which is so crucial to change.

You have taken the first step. The online platform works well with many peoples busy schedules. My office hours are on the weekends during the school year. In June and July I have morning, late afternoon and weekend availability.

I look forward to working with you.

About online counseling

Affordable.
Pay a low flat fee.
Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

I had two sessions this far, and I really appreciate her expertise and advices

Reviewed March 2024

Two years ago I had many family issues which Donna helped me to navigate and understand. She offered me a listening ear and guidance on situations. Her insight has always been helpful and I have kept it with me. I took a two year pause on therapy, and I find myself in a situation where I need her again. To my surprise she made herself available immediately and I feel secure that when I need her she is there.

Reviewed January 2024

Donna was very kind and good at understanding why I felt the way I did about my situations. She helped me manage my stress efficiently and reflect on the roots of my anxiety. She also chose very helpful worksheets for me that helped reassure me.

Reviewed July 2023

Great experience, she’s very in tune with what’s initially being said. I more focused on a end game idea and she had me back tracking to my initial comments. So much so it was making me misunderstand myself. That was until I actually took her advice went back and dealt with my issues head on. Who knew direct communication with your partner wasn’t so scary after all. Without a doubt this has changed my life and I fell it will continue to do so for the remainder of my relationship.

Donna is an amazing listener, and helps me to work out thoughts about things that are going on.

Reviewed August 2021

She is a tremendous listener and always able to offer helpful strategies. She is very relatable and it feels more like a natural conversation than it does talking with a therapist for an hour in an office. It's a great quality to have when trying to connect with patients and other counselors could take note of that. She has been very helpful and is great to bounce ideas and concerns off of, and always ready to offer advice and solutions to many of life's challenges.

As an American abroad in an insanely tumultuous time, I can really rest easy and be thankful for Donna- she’s gone above and beyond to try to help me with counseling at almost anytime i need despite a 15 hour time difference between us. I still have a long way to go but I’m glad she’s been able to accommodate my unusual situation and she’s been such a big help to talk to.

I always look forward to my therapy session with Donna. She helps in clarifying my thoughts in a concise manner and allows me to express myself more. The way I think tends to spiral into a cycle and chatting with Donna helps me to identify the signs of this in order to escape the cycle before it overly effects my well being.
