About Donna
Dr. Donna Daniel listens for people facing codependency, grief, anxiety, and life changes. She helps people who are stressed, dealing with relationship or intimacy concerns, managing addictions, or wrestling with self-esteem and career questions. She also offers support for trauma, depression, bipolar concerns, ADHD, and issues tied to aging and caregiving.
Donna brings 35 years of counseling experience and uses what has worked across many settings. She describes her style as whole-person and intuitive, noticing tone, energy, and presence as part of understanding how someone is doing. She leans toward brief, focused work but will also accept longer cycles when deeper issues need attention.
Her background includes grief work, trauma-informed care, mindfulness practices, and a mix of therapeutic ideas gathered from decades of practice. She frames faith and spirituality as personal resources that can either support or hinder healing, and she welcomes open conversations about spiritual beliefs when clients want that included.
Donna lived and worked in multiple states and overseas, which shaped a flexible approach to different life patterns and cultures. She prefers straightforward conversation and practical changes over jargon. She asks that people who begin work with her are ready to change patterns that are harming them.
Sessions are rooted in respect and steady attention. Donna uses several psychotherapy approaches to tailor sessions to each person’s needs, helping clients untangle codependent habits, rebuild self-worth, and find clearer ways to relate to others. If this way of working sounds useful, she invites prospective clients to reach out and explore next steps.
How therapeutic approaches are used in online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to a person. It helps when someone needs acceptance, clearer self-understanding, and practical steps toward change. Jungian Therapy looks at meaning, symbols, and life stories to help people connect to deeper parts of themselves and address patterns that repeat over time.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. Decisions about methods are made collaboratively, and approaches can be adjusted as needs change.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm the current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. It also lets people try different ways of working from where they are and brings therapeutic tools like mindfulness and narrative exploration into daily routines.
