Donna King, LPC - Therapist in Missouri

About Donna

Donna King is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Missouri. She brings 18 years of clinical experience to work with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, depression, addictions, grief, parenting challenges, and issues around intimacy and self-esteem. She aims to meet clients with respect and a down-to-earth approach.

Donna keeps sessions practical and straightforward. She listens first, then helps people set clear goals for change.

Background and approach

She combines talk therapy with hands-on strategies so clients can use what they learn between sessions. Her background includes focused training in trauma work and experience addressing a wide range of life problems, from career transitions to coping after loss. Over nearly two decades she has used several clinical methods to match individual needs.

Her LPC credential means she is licensed to practice counseling in Missouri. In session she blends client-centered listening with structured tools from cognitive-behavioral therapy and techniques drawn from emotionally-focused work and EMDR when appropriate. She also draws on existential ideas about meaning when that fits a client's concerns.

This lets her adapt the work to real life situations. People who reach out can expect straightforward conversation about what is causing stress and clear steps to move forward. Therapy can include skill-building, processing difficult memories, or improving communication within families.

Donna aims to help clients find practical ways to cope and make decisions that feel right for them.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Donna often uses client-centered therapy and cognitive-behavioral therapy in online sessions. Client-centered work focuses on listening closely and building trust so people can talk through what matters most. Cognitive-behavioral therapy offers practical skills to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems.

She also draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy when relationship patterns and attachment come up. EFT helps people identify emotions and shift interaction patterns so relationships feel safer and more connected. Together with the client, she reviews which approach or combination will likely fit the presenting concern and personal preferences; this is a collaborative process rather than a one-size-fits-all plan.

Online therapy is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. These formats make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules and to continue work after major life events or relocations. The therapist and client can choose the format that best supports comfort, scheduling, and the goals of therapy.

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.

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.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT)

Attends to the emotions underneath a recurring argument or distance, and to the attachment needs driving them. Often used where a relationship keeps returning to the same painful loop.
