About Donna
Donna King is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in Missouri who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, depression, and codependency. She draws on 18 years of clinical experience to support people through grief, addiction concerns, parenting strain, and major life changes. Her approach is warm and direct, aimed at helping people make practical changes that matter in daily life.
Donna describes her style as accepting and engaging. Sessions focus on listening first, then building clear goals together. She values treating everyone with dignity and respect and works with people from a variety of backgrounds and beliefs.
Clinically, Donna blends several methods to match individual needs. She uses client-centered work to strengthen coping and self-awareness, cognitive behavioral techniques to shift unhelpful thinking and behavior, and emotionally focused ideas to address connection and attachment issues. She also draws on trauma-focused tools when past events affect day-to-day functioning.
Many people come to her for help with intimacy and family stresses, caregiver burnout, forgiveness and shame, or problems like abandonment and infidelity. She also supports veterans and those dealing with the fallout from natural or human-caused disasters.
Donna encourages a collaborative process. She helps clients set realistic steps, practices skills in session, and follows up on progress. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule according to her availability.
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a trusting relationship. The therapist follows the person’s lead, helps them name goals, and encourages self-directed change. This approach is useful for stress, self-esteem, and life transitions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behavior. It uses simple exercises and homework to change unhelpful patterns, which can help with anxiety, depression, and coping with everyday problems.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people identify and shift emotional patterns that affect close relationships. It can be helpful when intimacy, attachment, or communication are central concerns.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences, and together they will try methods that feel most useful. That collaboration helps shape the plan and lets techniques be adjusted over time.
Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life by removing travel time and allowing sessions during work breaks or between errands. It also lets people practice new skills in real-world routines and bring that feedback back to session.
