About Donna
Donna Williams Welch is a Florida LMHC (Licensed Mental Health Counselor) with 11 years of clinical experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship and family concerns, grief, anger, and issues with addictions. Donna also works with people facing life purpose questions and cultural or immigration-related worries.
Her approach is straightforward and person-focused. She listens to what matters most to each person and uses conversations that clarify values and practical next steps. Sessions typically include reflection on patterns, skill practice, and looking at choices that align with what the person wants next in life.
Donna regularly draws on several clinical methods, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy. She adapts tools from these approaches to address problems such as communication breakdowns, commitment concerns, addictive behaviors, and persistent feelings of emptiness.
People often come for help after a big life change, a loss, or when they feel stuck and unsure what matters next. In meetings she helps clarify priorities, build concrete coping strategies, and reduce symptoms that get in the way of daily life. She also has experience addressing first responder issues and multicultural stressors.
Dwelling on options and taking small steps are a common part of her work. She asks practical questions, checks in about what is useful, and adjusts the plan as progress or obstacles appear. Sessions are held in English and she accepts international clients, with services provided from Florida.
Using ACT, CBT and Client-Centered Work Online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and taking committed actions that fit those values. Online sessions using ACT may help people who feel stuck decide what matters most and practice small, doable changes.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, and teaches practical skills for managing anxiety, depression, and stress. In remote sessions CBT can include homework, thought records, and step-by-step behavior changes that are practiced between meetings.
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and reflecting what the person says so they can better understand their own priorities. That approach supports people as they talk through relationship problems, family concerns, and questions about life purpose.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose methods that fit the client’s needs, goals, and preferences and will adjust techniques over time based on what is helping.
