About Donna
Dr. Donna Cunningham helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, parenting concerns, and major life changes. She presents a calm, straightforward style and focuses on practical steps people can use between sessions.
Dr. Cunningham is an LPCC - Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor - practicing in Ohio. She uses clear language and a steady presence so parents and caregivers can talk through immediate worries and plan next steps.
Her approach is collaborative and solution-focused.
Background and approach
She often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy - CBT - to identify unhelpful thoughts and change behaviors that keep problems going. Sessions aim to teach simple tools for mood management, anxiety reduction, and everyday coping. Dr.
Cunningham draws on 17 years of clinical experience to tailor plans to each person's situation. She listens for practical priorities and helps set small, achievable goals. Progress is measured by changes in daily routines and coping rather than abstract ideas.
When grief or loss is involved, she offers a steady space to sort through feelings and next steps. For parenting concerns she breaks problems into manageable pieces and helps develop consistent strategies families can try at home. Her work is direct and hands-on.
She reviews what’s working and what isn’t, adjusts plans, and teaches skills people can use right away. The goal is clearer thinking, calmer reactions, and better day-to-day functioning.
How CBT and online sessions work together
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and replacing them with more helpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and everyday coping skills by teaching concrete exercises and step-by-step changes.In online sessions Dr. Cunningham uses CBT techniques in a collaborative way. She works with each person to choose which tools fit their life and adjusts the plan as progress is made. Figuring out the right approach is a joint process based on needs, goals, and what feels practical for the client.
Online therapy through video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging makes it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule. These formats let people use skills in real time, review worksheets, and check in between meetings. The flexibility helps parents and caregivers try strategies at home and bring back results to session for further refinement.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
