About Donna
Donna Marie Clark is an LPC based in Pennsylvania with over three decades of professional experience supporting people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, anger, low self-esteem, depression, trauma, intimacy concerns, bipolar disorder, and other life transitions.
Background and approach
She emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion while helping clients build motivation, cope with impulsivity, and address relationship and communication problems. Her work also extends to areas such as grief, life purpose, codependency, and challenges tied to aging and intellectual disability.
Donna adapts conversations and treatment plans to each person's needs, drawing on methods like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Emotionally-Focused Therapy.
She frames therapy as a collaborative process that aims to empower clients to make meaningful changes, whether the focus is managing symptoms, strengthening interpersonal skills, or finding renewed direction in midlife. Courage to begin change is acknowledged and met with practical strategies and ongoing support tailored to the individual.
Her long tenure in the field informs a flexible, client-centered approach that balances evidence-informed techniques with attention to personal values and goals.
Online approaches rooted in collaboration and skill-building
Donna integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help clients change unhelpful thought patterns and build purposeful action. CBT focuses on identifying and modifying thoughts and behaviors that contribute to anxiety, depression, and addictive patterns, while ACT emphasizes accepting difficult feelings and committing to value-driven steps that support meaningful life changes.She also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to explore how relationship patterns and early bonds influence current emotional and interpersonal dynamics, which can be especially useful for improving communication and intimacy-related concerns. Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process; the therapist works collaboratively with each client to determine which methods best match their symptoms, goals, and preferences and adjusts the plan as progress unfolds.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide greater flexibility and accessibility. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life changes, and engage in treatment in a format that feels most comfortable for the individual.
