About Donna

Dr. Donna Winsor welcomes people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, grief, relationship strain, parenting challenges, and life changes. She emphasizes helping people rebuild confidence and practical skills so they can move forward. Donna presents as warm and nonjudgmental and aims to make the first step feel manageable.

With 20 years of experience, Donna holds LPC and LMHC credentials. She focuses on listening first to understand each person's story. From that starting point she works with clients to set clear goals and practice everyday skills that can reduce anxiety and improve mood.

Her approach mixes straightforward strategies and mindful attention. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people notice and change thought and behavior patterns that keep them stuck. Mindfulness techniques teach simple ways to calm the body and steady attention in stressful moments.

She also uses Motivational Interviewing to help people find their own reasons for change and Solution-Focused Therapy to build small, practical steps toward goals. Sessions center on what will be useful in daily life rather than only talking about the past.

Donna describes herself as empathetic and grounded. She aims to earn trust quickly so clients can try new behaviors with support. People who want to regain confidence, manage strong emotions, or find clearer direction in work or relationships may find her approach practical and encouraging.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Donna uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot thinking patterns that worsen anxiety and low self-esteem. CBT in sessions focuses on practical exercises and small behavior changes you can try between meetings. Mindfulness Therapy is used to teach simple attention and breathing practices that reduce tension and increase focus in everyday moments.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Donna will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and help choose techniques that fit their life. She treats this as a collaborative process and adjusts methods based on what works for the individual.

The main practical benefit of online work is fitting therapy into a busy schedule and life. Check with the practice to confirm which session formats are offered before booking. Many people find remote sessions make it easier to keep appointments around work, caregiving, or travel. Online sessions can also allow shorter check-ins or more flexible timing when that helps progress.
