About Donna

Donna Marchington is a licensed clinical professional counselor (LCPC) based in Montana. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, and depression. Donna emphasizes straightforward conversation and steady support as people take steps toward a more satisfying life.

She draws on 24 years of experience to guide practical, manageable change. Sessions center on identifying unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, then testing small, realistic shifts that fit daily life. Donna keeps language simple and concrete so people can use what they learn between meetings.

Clients often come with family and communication difficulties, struggles with abandonment or codependency, or the long effects of domestic violence and loss. She also supports those coping with issues such as commitment worries, guilt and shame, and first responder stress. Donna listens for the specific patterns that keep problems repeating and helps people try new ways of responding.

Her approach is collaborative and goal-focused. Together with each person she sets clear, achievable steps and checks progress regularly. This helps people stay motivated and see what is changing.

Donna encourages anyone feeling overwhelmed to reach out. The first meeting typically reviews immediate concerns and practical next steps. From there she and the client build a plan tailored to goals, pace, and everyday responsibilities.

Using CBT Online to Address Stress and Relationship Patterns

Donna uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people identify patterns of thought and behavior that feed worry and low mood. CBT focuses on noticing automatic thoughts, testing whether they are accurate, and trying different responses to see what helps in daily life. This approach can be useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and relationship communication problems.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Donna works with each person to choose methods that match their goals, pace, and preferences. She checks in about what is working and adapts the plan as needed so the work feels useful and relevant.

Practical benefits of online therapy include easier fitting of sessions into a busy schedule and fewer travel demands. Online work can make weekly check-ins, skill practice, and homework review simpler to maintain alongside work and family tasks. Confirm current session options before booking so you know which formats are available and can pick what fits your routine.
