She has specialized training in trauma, including work with military-related trauma, and has supported people through anxiety, depression, marriage and family concerns, relationship challenges, experiences of abuse, low self-esteem, and intimacy issues.

While Donna identifies as a Christian, she regularly works with clients from different belief systems and reports that faith differences have not posed a barrier in therapy. She is known for an accepting, engaging style and strives to treat every person with dignity and respect. Donna draws on an eclectic set of methods, using cognitive-behavioral and client-centered techniques among other approaches to tailor care to each client’s needs.

Her work focuses on helping people navigate both everyday stressors and significant life transitions, offering practical strategies and supportive exploration. Donna accepts new clients and approaches each relationship with empathy, collaborative problem solving, and a commitment to helping clients move toward their goals.

Approaches for Online Support and Therapeutic Connection

Donna King commonly integrates Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) into her online work. Client-Centered Therapy centers the client’s experience, emphasizing empathy, active listening, and the client’s own capacity for growth - it can be helpful for improving self-esteem, navigating relationship concerns, and processing life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, offering practical tools for managing anxiety, depression, stress, and coping with change.

Donna approaches treatment collaboratively, recognizing that finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process. She works with clients to assess needs, goals, and personal preferences and tailors interventions so the chosen methods fit the individual’s situation and pace.

Online therapy with Donna is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, which can make scheduling easier and allow work to continue when in-person visits are impractical. These formats support continuity of care, flexible session options, and the ability to use therapy alongside everyday responsibilities and routines.
