About Donna

Donna Tiemeyer brings 25 years of experience as a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas, working with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and related struggles.

Background and approach

She approaches each person with warmth and acceptance, aiming to understand individual personality traits and emotional needs before shaping treatment goals and plans. Her practice blends client-centered care with evidence-informed methods such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness practices, motivational interviewing and narrative approaches.

Donna has substantial experience supporting people with PTSD and substance use concerns and has worked in treatment settings that address complex issues including family conflict, cultural transitions, hospice and end-of-life concerns, immigration-related challenges, and seasonal mood changes.

Donna emphasizes collaboration and practical skill building so clients can navigate life transitions, cope with loss, manage difficult emotions, and rebuild confidence. She offers telehealth options and frames therapy as a partnership intended to make the process approachable and supportive for those who reach out.

Practical Approaches for Online Therapeutic Work

Donna integrates cognitive behavioral therapy and client-centered methods to support people working through anxiety, depression, trauma responses, and life changes. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and developing concrete coping skills to change emotional reactions and behaviors. Client-centered therapy emphasizes a nonjudgmental, accepting relationship where the therapist listens closely and helps clients clarify their goals and values.

She also draws on mindfulness techniques to help individuals build awareness of thoughts and bodily sensations, which can reduce reactivity and improve emotional regulation. Finding the right combination of approaches is a collaborative process; the therapist works together with each person to determine which strategies best fit their goals, circumstances, and preferences rather than imposing a single method.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and access. These formats make it easier to attend appointments from home, coordinate around work or caregiving schedules, and maintain continuity of care during life transitions while still working with a licensed professional.
