About Donna
Donna Marchington is an LCPC - Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor in Montana with 24 years of experience. She works with stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, and depression. Donna also lists additional focus areas that include abandonment, codependency, communication problems, forgiveness, and guilt and shame.
Donna uses straightforward conversation and evidence-based tools to help people make sense of difficult feelings. Sessions are practical and goal-oriented, with attention to thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and try different responses.
In sessions Donna helps people name what they feel and map how those feelings affect day-to-day life. She talks through coping strategies for overwhelming moments and steps for rebuilding routines after loss or conflict. The aim is clearer choices, not quick fixes.
Her background includes long-term clinical work in Montana settings with adults facing a mix of relationship and emotional problems. That experience informs how she balances short-term skills with longer conversations about patterns that repeat over time.
People who reach out should expect direct, plain discussion about feelings such as guilt or shame and concrete steps to test new ways of responding. Prospective clients are asked to confirm current session options before booking so they know how to arrange appointments.
How CBT shapes online sessions and practical benefits
Donna uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) online to identify recurring thoughts and behaviors that fuel anxiety, guilt, or low mood. CBT sessions typically involve naming unhelpful thinking patterns, testing them with simple exercises, and practicing different responses between meetings. This approach can help with worry, relationship-reactive thinking, and coping after loss.Finding the best approach is part of the work. Donna will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, and she and the client decide together how to proceed. That collaborative step helps match techniques to the client’s day-to-day life rather than applying a one-size-fits-all method.
The practical upside of online work is fitting therapy into a busy schedule and reducing time spent traveling to appointments. Please confirm the specific session formats before booking, since the biography does not list them. Many people find online sessions easier to schedule around work or family demands, and they allow shorter check-ins or longer weekly conversations depending on what the client needs.
