Donna Maye, LMHC

Donna Maye is an Indiana-licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with 13 years of experience. She works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and parenting concerns, and issues around intimacy and self-esteem.

She often helps people who are wrestling with communication problems, control issues, money stress, and feelings of guilt and shame. She also supports those navigating life purpose questions, midlife transitions, workplace pressures, and challenges common to young adults and women.

Donna uses practical, evidence-informed methods to help people notice unhelpful thinking and change everyday habits that get in the way. She favors Cognitive Behavioral Therapy approaches that break bigger problems into small, manageable steps people can try between sessions.

In the counseling room she listens for what is working in a person’s life and what feels stuck. Conversations include checking current patterns, identifying small experiments, and building skills for clearer communication and emotional regulation.

Her experience includes helping people move through depressive episodes and manage anxiety so they can handle daily tasks and relationships more steadily. Many clients focus on repairing communication, rebuilding self-esteem, and reducing persistent guilt and shame. She encourages active collaboration so people can set concrete goals and notice progress.

To begin she asks people to describe their situation and the changes they want. From there she and the client choose practical steps that fit into everyday life and the client’s personal responsibilities.
