About Donna
Dr. Donna Winsor helps people manage stress, anxiety, anger, depression, grief, and relationship struggles. She works with adults on parenting challenges, career transitions, and life changes.
Her approach also addresses trauma, compassion fatigue, ADHD, and a range of family and communication problems. Donna is a Licensed Professional Counselor - LPC and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor - LMHC. She has worked in the field for 20 years and brings practical skills to sessions.
Background and approach
She focuses on rebuilding confidence and improving everyday coping skills rather than long theoretical talks. Sessions tend to be straightforward and skill-based. She uses brief, clear techniques people can try between meetings.
Examples include thinking tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and mindful practices to calm strong emotions. Clients can expect a warm, nonjudgmental tone. Donna aims to make people feel heard and respected from the first contact.
Her style is empathic, direct, and focused on small, workable steps that fit real life. Her background includes work with adoption and foster care, aging and caregiver stress, intellectual disability, and hospice and end-of-life counseling. She also addresses issues such as codependency, narcissism, forgiveness, and money-related stress.
People who choose her often want practical guidance for daily problems. She helps them build tools to handle difficult moments, improve relationships, and move toward clearer goals.

How her methods fit online therapy
Dr. Winsor uses cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness in many online sessions. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing practical ways to change them, which can help with anxiety, depression, anger, and stress. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and increase calm during difficult moments.Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and everyday routines to decide which techniques to try first. Together they track what helps and adjust methods as needed so work stays relevant to what the client needs right now.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to match different needs. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and screen-sharing for worksheets. Phone sessions can fit a break at work or require less bandwidth. Live chat and text are useful for short check-ins, quick coaching, or when typing feels easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy life and keep momentum between sessions.
