About Donna
Donna Tiemeyer is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 25 years of experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, addiction concerns, and parenting challenges. Her style is warm and accepting, and she aims to make starting therapy feel manageable for a worried parent.
She uses a client-centered approach that starts by listening to each person's unique history and needs. From there she helps set clear goals and tailors a plan using practical tools from cognitive behavioral and narrative approaches.
Background and approach
Sessions often include simple skills for coping, tracking thoughts and behaviors, and telling the story of what has happened so a person can move forward. Donna has worked with trauma, substance use concerns, and PTSD in treatment settings, and also offers support for people facing cultural transition, hospice and end-of-life issues, immigration-related stress, and seasonal mood difficulties.
She brings experience with relationship and family stress while keeping the work focused on the individual’s needs. Her counseling blends short-term strategies with deeper reflection when needed. She may use motivational interviewing to help people find reasons to change and mindfulness practices to reduce reactivity and calm the body.
The goal is practical progress you can notice week to week. Donna practices in Texas and conducts sessions in English. She encourages parents who feel overwhelmed by life changes or caregiving demands to reach out and talk through steps toward greater balance.

How Donna's Approaches Work Online
Donna often uses client-centered therapy to begin work by listening closely to each person's story and priorities, helping parents feel heard and understood before setting goals. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is used to identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors, which can reduce anxiety, manage mood, and improve daily routines. Mindfulness practices teach simple attention and breathing exercises that help lower reactivity and support steady parenting responses.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Donna will talk with the person about goals, preferences, and how a method feels in practice, then adjust techniques as needed so the work fits real life. This keeps therapy focused and responsive to change over time.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs. Video is useful for longer structured sessions and skill practice, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, chat works for quick check-ins, and texting supports brief daily prompts or reflection. These options aim to make consistent support easier to keep up with while balancing parenting and other responsibilities.
