About Donna
Donna Tiemeyer is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 25 years of clinical experience. She helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, grief, or life changes. Her approach is warm and accepting and aimed at helping clients feel understood and steady during hard times.
She listens for each person's unique personality and needs, then builds a plan that fits their goals. Sessions often focus on practical steps people can try between meetings.
Background and approach
Techniques draw from cognitive behavioral ideas, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and narrative approaches to help change unhelpful patterns and build coping skills. Donna has long experience working with trauma, substance use concerns, and grief. She also offers support around relationship strain, parenting challenges, anger, self-esteem, bipolar mood concerns, and compassion fatigue.
Additional focus areas include hospice and end-of-life counseling, immigration issues, veteran and armed forces topics, multicultural concerns, and seasonal affective disorder. She provides telehealth options from her Texas practice, using video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to connect. Sessions are arranged through a subscription model that can be canceled at any time, and scheduling is coordinated after a short intake questionnaire.
Donna aims to make the first steps into counseling feel less threatening. She works with people to set clear, realistic goals and to notice small changes that build toward greater emotional balance.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and responding to each person's needs. The therapist follows the client's lead, reflects feelings, and helps shape goals that the client wants to reach. This approach helps people who need emotional support and clearer direction.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the connections between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses straightforward exercises to test unhelpful thoughts and build new habits. CBT can be useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes.
Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and increase calm. These practices can help with stress, anxiety, and emotion regulation by offering short techniques people can use during the day.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with clients about goals, try approaches, and adjust based on what helps most. Decisions about techniques are collaborative and based on the client's needs and preferences.
Online sessions offer flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when a fuller interaction is helpful. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth or being on camera is difficult. Live chat and text-based messaging can provide shorter check-ins, quick coping reminders, or support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit counseling into a busy life and to keep momentum between meetings.
