Dr. Donna Winsor, LPC, LMHC - Therapist in Arizona

About Donna

Dr. Donna Winsor focuses on stress, anxiety, parenting concerns, grief, and relationship struggles. She introduces herself with warmth and simple honesty so parents and caregivers feel seen right away.

Donna is a Licensed Professional Counselor and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with twenty years of experience. She wants each person who comes to her to feel heard and treated with respect. She begins by building trust and listening carefully to what matters most.

Background and approach

Sessions are practical and down to earth. She helps people rebuild confidence, learn real-life skills, and make manageable changes step by step. Techniques are chosen to fit each person’s situation rather than following a single formula.

Donna draws on evidence-based methods such as cognitive behavioral strategies and mindfulness to address anxious thoughts and low mood. She also uses motivational interviewing and solution-focused work to set small goals and track progress. These approaches are explained plainly and practiced in ways that parents can use at home.

Her background includes two decades of working with a wide range of concerns including trauma, parenting challenges, caregiving stress, and issues related to aging and adoption. She holds the LPC and LMHC credentials and brings practical tools alongside empathetic support. Sessions are offered in English and can be done online.

The practice accepts international clients and offers multiple formats to fit busy family schedules. The focus is on helping people move forward with clear steps and steady encouragement.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Donna commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and practice new coping strategies to reduce anxiety and low mood. She also uses mindfulness therapy to teach simple attention and breathing skills that can ease stress and ground parents during overwhelming moments.

Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they try methods, review what helps, and adjust the plan as needed so the work fits real life.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls let sessions feel face to face, while phone sessions work when a camera is not convenient. Live chat and text messaging provide short, on-the-go support between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy family routines and to keep momentum when life gets hectic.

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.

Mindfulness Therapy

Attention training: noticing thoughts and physical feelings as they arrive without being carried off by them. Much of it is practice you do yourself, so guidance over video or audio works much as it would in person.

Motivational Interviewing

A way of working through mixed feelings about change without being pushed. The therapist helps you weigh things up and find your own reasons, which often makes a difficult decision feel less stuck.
