About Donna
Donna Marie Clark is a licensed professional counselor in Pennsylvania with over three decades of experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, anger, low self-esteem, relationship and intimacy concerns, bipolar mood shifts, and life transitions. Donna uses a respectful, down-to-earth approach to care and aims to meet people where they are.
She listens first and then tailors conversations and goals to each person. Sessions focus on practical steps you can try between meetings.
Background and approach
She works with motivation, coping skills, and confidence building so people can move toward clearer choices. Donna blends several evidence-based approaches to fit a person’s needs. She draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to address thoughts and behaviors, and she uses acceptance and commitment ideas to clarify values and action.
Attachment-focused ways of looking at relationships also appear when interpersonal patterns matter. Over 32 years she has supported people through addiction, grief, compassion fatigue, and midlife shifts. She also addresses issues such as ADHD, communication problems, codependency, and challenges related to aging.
Her practice includes help for people managing trauma, forgiveness, guilt, and control issues. Her style is calm and practical. She encourages small experiments, steady skill-building, and honest conversation about setbacks.
The aim is to help people find more stability, purpose, and confidence in daily life.
How her approaches work in online sessions
Donna uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. That work often focuses on breaking cycles of anxiety, depression, or impulsive responses. Acceptance and commitment therapy is also part of her approach and emphasizes clarifying what matters to you and taking small committed steps toward those values. This can help when stress or avoidance gets in the way of daily functioning.She also uses attachment-based ideas when relationships or repeated interaction patterns are central to the concern. That perspective looks at how early and current relationship styles affect trust, closeness, and communication. Deciding which approaches to use is collaborative - the therapist and client review goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, then adjust as progress is made.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions let people work face to face when that helps. Phone sessions can be a lower-bandwidth option or fit into a short break during a busy day. Live chat and messaging provide flexibility for brief check-ins, homework support, or when scheduling a regular session is difficult.
