About Donna
Donna Thompson-Lisiecki is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Georgia with 20 years of clinical experience. She brings a straightforward, practical approach and asks clients to engage earnestly in the work. Donna is a parent and grandparent who values creativity, nature, and ongoing personal growth.
She emphasizes honest conversation and clear goals. Sessions focus on pinning down what keeps someone stuck and taking concrete steps to shift patterns. Donna mixes talk, practical skill-building, and reflective work so clients can manage stress, mood, and relationship struggles more effectively.
Background and approach
Her style is warm and nonjudgmental, yet direct. She expects effort and motivation from the person in therapy. That can mean homework, behavior experiments, or practicing new ways of communicating between sessions.
Donna uses several therapeutic approaches to fit each person’s needs. She draws on client-centered principles to center the client's experience. She also uses mindfulness and emotionally focused ideas to help people notice feelings and change how they respond to them.
Common reasons people seek her help are anxiety, depression, addiction, parenting concerns, trauma, grief, and life transitions. She also addresses issues like self-esteem, communication problems, and burnout in helping professions. Sessions are offered online by video, phone, chat, or text messaging to fit different schedules and preferences.
Donna encourages honesty and steady effort so progress can build over time.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Donna commonly blends client-centered work with emotionally-focused and mindfulness-based techniques. Client-centered therapy centers the conversation on the person's own goals and experience, helping them feel heard while clarifying what they want to change. Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people identify and name difficult emotions and then practice new responses within important relationships. Mindfulness-based strategies train attention to notice thoughts and sensations so reactions become more manageable and less automatic.Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. Donna will talk with each person about their goals, history, and what feels most useful. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress unfolds. That way the approach fits the person's needs rather than following a fixed template.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people work face to face when schedules allow. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and messaging support brief check-ins, homework review, or ongoing coaching-style contact between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and try methods consistently over time.
