About Donna
Donna Maso is a licensed clinical social worker with 31 years of practice. She helps people facing relationship strain, trauma and abuse, grief, parenting challenges, and anger. Donna aims to offer steady, practical support when emotions feel overwhelming.
Her approach is straightforward and person-centered. She listens first to what matters most, then suggests small, concrete steps to try between sessions. Sessions focus on skills people can use right away to manage strong feelings and improve communication.
Background and approach
Donna has worked across many settings including outpatient clinics, crisis services, hospice, schools, and correctional environments. That breadth has shaped a flexible style that adapts to each person's life situation. She draws on techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy to help with thoughts, behaviors, and emotional regulation.
Mindfulness and solution-focused methods are part of her toolkit too. Mindfulness helps slow racing thoughts and ground people in the present. Solution-focused work targets quick, practical changes to reduce distress and build momentum.
Sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text messaging to fit different schedules. People meet with Donna to talk through problems, learn coping skills, and set realistic goals. She works from Florida as an LCSW and conducts sessions in English.

Therapeutic approaches for online emotion work
Donna uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors that fuel anger or anxiety. CBT breaks problems into small parts so clients can try different responses and measure what helps.She also applies dialectical behavior therapy skills to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication. DBT techniques are practical tools for calming intense feelings and reducing impulsive reactions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Donna will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and daily life. Together they set short-term goals and adjust techniques based on what is effective.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text messaging to suit different needs. Video calls are useful for more in-depth conversations and skills practice. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a hands-free check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging let people check in quickly between appointments or use shorter, focused exchanges. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and keep momentum between sessions.
