About Donna
Dr. Donna Cunningham is a licensed professional clinical counselor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, grief, parenting challenges, depression, and coping with life changes. She writes plainly and listens closely, aiming to make the first steps toward support feel less overwhelming.
She favors straightforward, evidence-based tools that people can use between sessions. Conversations focus on immediate problems and practical ways to reduce distress. Sessions often include simple exercises to notice automatic thoughts and try new responses.
Background and approach
Her style is collaborative and respectful. She asks about day-to-day routines, parenting demands, and what has helped in the past. Together she and the client set short-term goals and track small changes over time.

How CBT and online formats support parenting and life changes
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-life experiments. It helps people notice patterns that increase anxiety or low mood and then try small behavior changes to see what shifts.When applied to parenting concerns CBT breaks down worries into specific thoughts and actions. It can help with managing worry about routines, reducing harsh self-judgment, and creating step-by-step plans for stressful moments with children or caregivers.
Finding the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will work with each person to pick methods that match their goals, values, and day-to-day demands. Sessions are collaborative and adjusted over time based on what is useful in real life.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when a longer session is helpful. Phone sessions can fit into a busy day or use less bandwidth. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for brief check-ins, quick coaching, or when writing out thoughts feels easier. These options make it simpler to keep up with regular work on goals while juggling parenting and other responsibilities.
