About Donna
Donna Deadman is a licensed professional counselor who focuses on practical help for people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, parenting challenges, and life transitions. She writes and speaks plainly in sessions so parents can talk through pressing problems. Sessions are meant to help clients develop clear steps and small changes they can use right away.
Donna draws from six years of counseling experience and uses straightforward therapy tools to make progress feel achievable.
Background and approach
She blends strategies that address thoughts and feelings, and she pays attention to how relationships and attachment shape behavior. Conversations aim to uncover patterns that get in the way and then test different ways to respond. Her work includes approaches from cognitive behavioral therapy, attachment-based ideas, and client-centered methods.
That mix helps with mood, anxiety, relationship difficulties, and parenting stress. Donna explains techniques in plain language and practices them together with the person in the room. Sessions can include short skill-building exercises, ways to shift unhelpful thinking, and moments to focus on what matters most to the client.
The goal is steady progress, not quick fixes, with steps that fit daily life. Donna is licensed as an LPC in Texas. She provides services in English and accepts international clients.
Online formats are offered to suit different schedules and needs.
How online sessions use evidence-based approaches
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, often called ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It focuses on values and small actions that move a person toward what matters, which can help with anxiety, stress, and life transitions.Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early patterns in relationships affect current behavior. It helps people spot those patterns and try different ways of connecting, which is useful for relationship difficulties and family concerns.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful thinking and habits. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and managing strong emotions by practicing new responses in daily life.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Donna will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then try methods that fit those needs. The process is collaborative and adjusted over time based on what helps most.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or ongoing text messaging. These formats make it easier to fit sessions into busy family schedules and to keep momentum between meetings. The goal is to make practical therapy accessible and usable in everyday life.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.
Attachment-Based Therapy
Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.
Client-Centered Therapy
The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.
