About Donna
Donna Marie Clark is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania with over three decades of experience helping people face stress, anxiety, addiction, low self-esteem, depression, anger, and relationship concerns. She speaks plainly and offers steady support as clients take steps toward change. Her approach starts with listening.
She treats people with respect, sensitivity, and compassion and adapts conversations to each person's needs. Sessions focus on practical steps, clearer thinking, and building motivation so clients feel more confident handling daily challenges.
How Donna works
Donna uses a mix of evidence-informed methods to address worries about mood, behavior, and relationships. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to notice thought patterns, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify values, and Attachment-Based ideas to look at relationship patterns. These tools are chosen to match the concern at hand rather than as a fixed routine.
Many conversations explore coping skills for anxiety, relapse prevention for substance concerns, anger management strategies, and ways to rebuild self-worth after trauma or loss. She also assists people navigating life transitions, midlife questions, and issues tied to aging and caregiving. Sessions are collaborative and respectful.
Donna helps people set short-term goals and practical next steps. She encourages steady progress and adjusts the plan as needs change.

Therapeutic approaches and online options
Donna often draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thinking and try new behaviors. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, anger, and many everyday problems because it focuses on practical changes and skill building.She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which helps people clarify what matters to them and take value-driven actions even when difficult feelings appear. ACT can be helpful for stress, chronic worry, and coping with life changes.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, and then try methods that fit each person's needs. This is a collaborative process that can be adjusted over time.
Online therapy here includes video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and nonverbal cues, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat can be a quicker check-in, and text-based messaging suits shorter, ongoing support. These options make scheduling more flexible and help people fit therapy into busy lives.
