About Donna
Donna Marie Clark is a Pennsylvania Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 32 years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, addictions, anger, low self-esteem, depression, relationship and intimacy-related concerns, bipolar disorder, and people coping with major life changes. Donna also lists life purpose and coaching among her focuses.
She uses straightforward conversation to clarify practical next steps. Sessions can include techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy to help shift unhelpful thinking and action patterns. Attachment-based and emotionally focused ideas inform how she looks at relationship and intimacy difficulties.
Donna tailors what happens in the room to each person’s concerns. She listens for what is getting in the way of clearer choices, then works on small, doable changes. For people dealing with addiction or impulse issues, motivational interviewing strategies are often part of the work to build readiness for change.
Her approach balances direct skills practice with time to reflect on values and goals. That can help when someone feels stuck after a job change, breakup, health shift, or during a midlife reassessment. She names practical options rather than promising a particular outcome.
Sessions are carried out in English from Pennsylvania. Fees vary with location and are arranged through a cancelable subscription model. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How her therapeutic approaches work online
Donna commonly draws on cognitive behavioral therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy in her work. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors with practical exercises. It can help with anxiety, low mood, and coping skills. ACT encourages identifying personal values and taking committed steps toward them while learning to live with uncomfortable thoughts and feelings; it can be useful for life purpose questions and motivation.She sees choosing an approach as a collaborative process. The therapist listens to what matters most to the client and suggests methods that match their goals and preferences. That way, the work adapts as goals become clearer and priorities change.

They can also support shorter check-ins when time is limited or conversations that benefit from visual cues when video is used.
