About Donna
Donna King is a Licensed Professional Counselor who helps people facing stress and anxiety. She brings 18 years of clinical experience and a steady, respectful presence to sessions. Her manner is engaging and down-to-earth.
She aims to treat people with dignity and plain spoken help. Donna works with a wide range of concerns including relationship and family strain, trauma and abuse, depression, addictions, grief, and intimacy-related issues. She also supports people dealing with parenting stress, anger, low self-esteem, career challenges, and major life changes.
Background and approach
Additional focuses include abandonment, blended family issues, caregiver stress, codependency, communication problems, and recovery after infidelity or separation. Her approach blends client-centered work with cognitive-behavioral ideas and emotion-focused techniques. She also uses existential perspectives and EMDR when trauma processing is appropriate.
In practice she listens first, then offers practical steps and tools to try between sessions. Sessions aim to be collaborative and grounded in each person’s goals. Donna has specific experience with veteran and armed forces issues and with compassion fatigue.
She welcomes conversations that include spiritual or religious perspectives when that matters to the person, while also working with people who are not religious. She practices in Missouri as an MO LPC and conducts sessions in English. People who choose to work with Donna can expect straightforward language, clear goals, and options for different session formats.
She helps people set small, manageable steps and checks progress over time.
How Donna’s approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding a person’s concerns and goals. The therapist offers empathy and reflection so people can explore choices and build confidence. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thinking patterns and test new behaviors with concrete exercises and homework between sessions. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) looks at patterns in close relationships and helps people notice and shift emotional responses to feel more connected and less reactive.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Donna works with clients to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaboration includes checking how an approach feels in practice and adjusting the plan over time so it stays useful.
Online therapy is offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat or messaging can fit brief updates, coaching-style support, or people who prefer typing. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to try different formats as needs change.
