About Donna
Donna Vogeler-Boutin is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Nevada. She brings 25 years of counseling experience and focuses on helping people navigate relationship struggles, anxiety, grief, and major life changes. Donna frames therapy as a collaborative process and meets clients with empathy and respect.
Her approach blends attachment work, client-centered skills, and cognitive-behavioral ideas. She draws on techniques from Emotionally-Focused Therapy and the Gottman Method when relationship patterns are a concern. Sessions emphasize practical strategies, clearer communication, and repairing connection.
Donna also works with issues that often underlie repeated relationship patterns, such as attachment wounds, abandonment, control struggles, and codependency. She uses short-term coaching tools alongside deeper developmental and somatic work when helpful. This allows flexibility to address immediate problems and longer-standing roots of distress.
Many clients come for help with parenting stress, career transitions, compassion fatigue, or trauma and abuse recovery. She helps people build emotion regulation skills, set healthier boundaries, and work through family of origin concerns. The focus is on realistic, doable steps that fit everyday life.
Donna has long experience supporting service members and their families. She values vulnerability as a path to strength and works to create a practical, down-to-earth space for change. To begin, clients complete a short questionnaire and schedule sessions according to availability.
How attachment work and CBT translate to online therapy
Attachment-based work focuses on how early relationships shape current emotional reactions and closeness. Online sessions using this lens often look at patterns in relationships, safety in expressing needs, and ways to reframe connection issues.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and test them with small behavioral experiments. Delivered online, CBT sessions commonly include homework, thought records, and skill practice between meetings to address anxiety, depression, and stress.
Donna approaches therapy as a collaboration. She will help clients decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. Together they set clear, practical steps and adjust the approach as progress is made.
