About Donna

Donna Moshier is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) who focuses on common concerns parents face. She works with stress, anxiety, addictions, grief, parenting challenges, sleep and eating problems, anger, and relationship or intimacy issues. She also addresses mood concerns such as depression and bipolar disorder, and helps people coping with life changes and ADHD.

Donna keeps sessions straightforward and practical. She listens without judgment and helps clients identify small, workable steps.

Background and approach

She often uses tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy to change unhelpful thoughts and build values-based routines. Her approach includes eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, or EMDR, for processing traumatic memories when that fits the situation. Motivational interviewing is used when someone is stuck or unsure about making changes, especially around substance use or habits.

The focus is on what the client wants to accomplish and which methods feel usable. Donna has ten years of counseling experience and practices in Arkansas. She describes herself as genuine and respectful, aiming to provide a supportive space where people can sort through hard problems.

Sessions are paced to each person’s needs and readiness for change. Clients who choose to work with her can expect clear, everyday language, practical homework when helpful, and a collaborative plan that updates as progress is made.

How evidence-based methods translate to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify what matters most and take small steps toward those values. It’s useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions by focusing on actions rather than trying to eliminate difficult thoughts. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact and teaches concrete skills to reduce symptoms of depression, anxiety, and sleep or eating problems. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, EMDR, is a trauma-focused approach used to reduce the hold of painful memories and related triggers when trauma is part of the picture.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Donna will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and comfort level. She may combine approaches over time and adjusts recommendations based on how a client responds.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls let therapists and clients see each other for more interactive sessions. Phone sessions are a simpler option when video isn’t possible. Live chat and text-based messaging allow shorter check-ins and ongoing support between full sessions. These formats help people fit therapy into busy family lives and make it easier to maintain continuity of care.

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.

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.
