Donna Miles Asare is an LCSW who helps people manage stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, and depression. She works with clients to build confidence and motivation one step at a time. Her approach is straightforward and respectful, aimed at practical change rather than jargon. Donna is based in California and offers services in English.
Donna believes clients are the experts on their own lives. She uses tools from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to guide sessions. That might mean learning new ways to notice difficult thoughts, testing out small behavior changes, or practicing emotion regulation skills. Sessions focus on usable strategies people can apply between meetings.
Her background includes work with people facing end-of-life concerns, relationship betrayal, jealousy, multicultural issues, and experiences of paranoia. Donna has four years of clinical experience as a licensed clinical social worker in California. She aims to meet each person where they are and build on their existing strengths.
People who come to Donna often want clear steps and real tools. She tends to offer concrete exercises, short skills practice, and collaborative goal-setting. Progress is tracked in practical terms, like improved day-to-day coping or increased confidence in facing a specific situation.
If someone is unsure whether therapy is the right next step, Donna encourages a brief intake to talk through concerns and match on goals. Getting started involves a simple questionnaire and scheduling a first appointment that fits the person’s needs.
How ACT, CBT, and DBT Inform Online Work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts without getting stuck in them and clarify personal values to guide actions. It can be useful for anxiety, low motivation, and struggles with self-worth.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior. It often uses short experiments and practical homework to test thinking patterns and build new habits, which can help with depression and anxiety.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy teaches concrete skills for managing strong emotions, tolerating distress, and improving interpersonal effectiveness. Those skills are often helpful when emotions feel overwhelming or relationships are strained.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Donna will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. She encourages trying tools in real life and adjusting the plan based on what helps.
