About Donna
Donna Daigle-Thomas is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas. She brings seven years of clinical experience helping people manage anxiety, stress, trauma, and depression. Donna aims to create a calm and open space where people feel heard and understood.
She encourages small, practical steps when someone first reaches out for help. Donna uses clear, direct conversation to sort through worries and everyday struggles. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice thoughts without being ruled by them.
Background and approach
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is part of her toolkit for spotting unhelpful thinking patterns and trying new behaviors. Mindfulness practices are woven into sessions to help with grounding and managing intense emotions. For people with trauma, she may use Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing to reduce distress tied to painful memories.
Client-Centered Therapy guides how she listens and responds, prioritizing each person’s experience. Her focus areas include addictions, bipolar mood concerns, grief, and coping with life changes. She also supports people navigating communication problems, guilt and shame, self-harm thoughts, and questions about life purpose and self-love.
First responder issues and challenges within LGBT identities are also within her experience. Sessions are offered in English and designed to fit into busy lives. Donna works collaboratively to build goals and plans that feel achievable.
She meets people where they are and helps them move forward at a steady, manageable pace.
Therapeutic approaches for online anxiety and trauma care
Donna often blends Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in online work. ACT encourages people to notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then commit to actions that match their values. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety and improve mood.She also uses Client-Centered Therapy principles to shape the relationship. That means listening closely and responding to what each person says, so treatment feels tailored and respectful. Finding the right mix of methods is part of the process, and the therapist will work together with the client to choose what fits their needs and goals.
Online sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and shared exercises. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a quick check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging make brief updates and ongoing support more convenient between longer sessions. These options help therapy fit into work, caregiving, and other daily demands while keeping focus on progress and practical strategies.
