About Donna
Donna Deadman greets people who are feeling stuck, stressed, or unsure where to begin. She offers straightforward support for anxiety, depression, stress, parenting challenges, relationship and intimacy concerns, and life changes. Donna is licensed as an LPC and speaks English.
Donna focuses on clear, practical steps clients can try between sessions. She uses structured conversations to identify unhelpful patterns and then works with each person to build new skills. Sessions aim to be collaborative and goal-focused so progress is visible.
Background and approach
Her background includes work in school counseling and several years providing online therapy to adults and teens. That mix of settings shaped a flexible style that adapts to different routines and needs. Donna draws on approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Attachment-Based methods to guide the work.
She helps people sort through parenting stress and relationship friction while also addressing trauma, grief, career shifts, ADHD-related struggles, and self-esteem issues. Practical problem solving is paired with attention to emotions so people feel understood while learning tools that help. Sessions may include short skills practice, exploring thoughts and feelings, and planning small changes to try at home.
Donna encourages clients to set clear goals and to track what works, so therapy stays focused and relevant.

Approaches that translate well to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and life changes where shifting behavior matters more than stopping every thought. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying patterns of thinking that feed distress and practicing concrete skills to change reactions and behavior. It suits concerns like anxiety, depression, parenting stress, and ADHD-related symptoms. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how close relationships shape responses to stress and connection. It can help with relationship strain, intimacy issues, and parenting tensions.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Donna treats the process as collaborative and will help figure out which methods fit a person's goals and preferences. Together they set targets, try out techniques, and adjust the plan based on what helps most.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction and more visual connection. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone needs a shorter check-in. Live chat and text messaging are useful for quick check-ins, homework support, or when writing feels easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into busy schedules and to continue work between sessions.
