About Donna

Donna Deadman welcomes adults seeking practical help with anxiety, depression, stress, relationship struggles, parenting concerns, and life transitions. Donna emphasizes a collaborative style that supports clients in building insight, coping skills, and confidence to make meaningful changes in day-to-day life.

Background and approach

She brings six years of professional counseling experience and practices from Texas as an LPC, using evidence-informed methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alongside acceptance and attachment-focused approaches. Sessions are shaped to each person's needs, with an emphasis on clear goals, skill-building, and attention to how past patterns influence present concerns.

Donna also works with a broad range of related issues including trauma and abuse, intimacy and self-esteem difficulties, ADHD, career challenges, grief and caregiver stress, and communication or commitment problems. She accepts international clients and offers flexible online options to fit varied schedules, helping people translate therapeutic insights into practical, everyday change.

Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life

Donna integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) into her online practice. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and building practical skills to manage symptoms like anxiety, depression, and stress. ACT emphasizes acceptance of difficult emotions while clarifying personal values and committed actions to create a more meaningful life.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic work. Donna takes a collaborative stance, listening to each client's goals and preferences and tailoring techniques from these methods to match what will be most helpful. Together the client and therapist evaluate progress and adjust the plan as needed.

Online therapy with Donna is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, which makes scheduling easier for people with busy lives or different time zones. These formats allow flexibility in how and when clients engage with therapy while maintaining a focus on practical skill-building and emotional exploration.
