About Donna
Donna Wolf Robichaud is a Licensed Professional Counselor with more than 22 years of experience helping people cope with stress and anxiety. She works with adults who are dealing with depression, grief, career transitions, ADHD, and the everyday strain of parenting or family life. Donna uses simple, practical tools so people can feel steadier day to day.
Her approach centers on listening first. She learns what matters most to each person and then tailors sessions to their goals.
Background and approach
That can mean short-term problem solving or longer work on patterns that keep showing up. Sessions aim to be straightforward and useful from the start. Donna draws on client-centered methods to make conversations feel respectful and focused on the person's experience.
She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to spot unhelpful thinking and try different, more workable responses. Mindfulness and solution-focused ideas are woven in to help with immediate coping and clearer next steps. Over two decades in Texas and Michigan have given her experience with many concerns, including chronic illness, caregiving stress, end-of-life issues, and panic attacks.
She helps people sort through guilt, forgiveness, midlife questions, and trauma from family of origin problems. Practical coaching around life purpose and career choices is also available. Sessions are offered in English and can be scheduled in formats that fit busy lives.
Donna aims to help people build skills that transfer into real life so they can manage difficult feelings and move toward goals at their own pace.
Approaches that translate well to online care
Donna often uses client-centered therapy, which focuses on listening and reflecting so people feel heard and understood. This approach helps establish goals and direction before moving into specific skills. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is another frequent method she uses to spot unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors; it works well for anxiety, panic, and mood concerns because exercises and thought records can be shared and reviewed during sessions.Finding the right mix is a collaborative process. Donna will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences, then try approaches that make sense for them. She adjusts the plan as progress is made and invites feedback about what feels most helpful.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which make it possible to fit therapy into busy days. Video lets visual connection and screen-sharing of worksheets. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat or text messaging can support ongoing coaching, quick mood checks, and follow-up between longer sessions. These options offer flexibility so work on anxiety, stress, grief, or career decisions can continue despite a packed schedule.
