About LaDonna
LaDonna Day is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people facing grief, low self-esteem, stress, anxiety, and life transitions. She writes in plain terms and focuses on practical steps people can take to feel steadier. Her approach aims to make talking about painful things easier and less overwhelming.
LaDonna works to build an open atmosphere where clients can name difficult feelings without fear of judgment. She uses cognitive behavioral techniques to look at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. She also draws on mindfulness practices to help people notice their experience and build tolerance for hard emotions.
In sessions she helps people set small, doable goals. That might mean trying a new way of reacting in a tense moment or practicing a short grounding exercise between meetings. Over time these small changes add up and give people clearer choices when stress rises.
LaDonna has eight years of professional experience and holds a Master of Science and a Licensed Clinical Social Worker credential, listed as MS LCSW. She practices in Mississippi and conducts work in English.
She encourages people who are coping with relationship struggles, career stress, compassion fatigue, codependency concerns, or caregiver strain to consider therapy as a step toward feeling more capable.

How cognitive work and mindfulness translate to online care
LaDonna uses cognitive behavioral ideas and mindfulness in her work. Cognitive behavioral techniques focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new ways of responding to them. This approach is useful for anxiety, stress, and low self-esteem because it breaks down problems into clear steps people can practice.Mindfulness practices help people notice their thoughts and bodily reactions without immediately acting on them. Simple breathing or grounding exercises are taught and practiced to reduce reactivity and build calm. Together these approaches aim to give concrete skills for coping with grief, compassion fatigue, and relationship stress.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to choose techniques that match each person's goals, preferences, and daily life. Clients and the therapist check in regularly to see what is helping and adjust the plan as needed.
