About Donna
Donna Deadman greets people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, parenting strain, or big life changes. She is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas who aims to make starting therapy calm and straightforward for worried parents and adults. Donna focuses on practical, relatable steps in sessions.
She helps people sort through relationship and intimacy concerns, manage anger, and build confidence after trauma or loss. She also supports work on self-esteem, career questions, ADHD challenges, and family-related stresses without using confusing jargon.
Background and approach
Her approach is collaborative and down-to-earth. Sessions center on what the client wants to change and on tools that can be tried between appointments. She draws on methods that help people notice unhelpful patterns and then experiment with new behaviors that fit their values.
Donna has six years of LPC experience and a background working in schools and with online clients. That mix shaped a practical style that balances listening with concrete strategies. She adapts pacing and techniques to the person in front of her.
Many people come to her for help with communication, codependency, grief, caregiver stress, or navigating separation and blended-family concerns. Sessions are designed to be usable in daily life, with clear steps and simple practices to try between meetings.
Approach-driven care you can access online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people clarify what matters to them and take small committed steps in that direction, even when unpleasant feelings show up. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and teaches practical skills to shift those patterns and reduce symptoms. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centers on understanding and reshaping emotional responses to improve connection and communication in close relationships.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences, and adjusts the plan as progress is made. That means you can try one approach and shift course if something else seems more helpful.
Online therapy offers flexibility for busy lives. Video calls let people keep face-to-face contact while saving travel time. Phone sessions take less bandwidth and can be easier during a quick break. Live chat and text messaging make brief check-ins or short problem-solving exchanges possible between longer sessions. These options make it easier to maintain momentum and fit therapy into a real schedule.
