About Donna
Donna Wolf Robichaud is a licensed professional counselor with 22 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, grief, and life transitions. She helps people who feel stuck by listening closely and offering clear, practical steps they can try between sessions. Her work focuses on everyday problems like work stress, depression, parenting strain, and relationship tensions.
She also supports people facing caregiving burdens, chronic illness, fertility concerns, loss, and questions about life purpose.
Background and approach
Sessions are straightforward and goal-oriented, aimed at small changes that add up. Donna uses methods that fit the person she is working with. She draws from client-centered techniques to make space for each person’s story.
She also uses cognitive behavioral methods to spot unhelpful thinking and build different habits. Mindfulness and solution-focused strategies are part of her toolbox too, along with motivational interviewing to help people find the will to make changes. These approaches are explained in plain language and applied to real-life tasks clients can practice.
She holds LPC as a credential and has worked in both Texas and Michigan settings over her career. Sessions are aimed at helping people gain clarity, reduce intense symptoms, and move toward manageable goals. The pace and focus are set together, so the work fits each person’s needs.
How her approaches translate to online care
Donna uses client-centered therapy to build a respectful, listening-focused relationship where the person's goals guide the work. This approach helps when someone needs space to sort feelings and decide what matters most.She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which looks at how thoughts and actions affect mood and behavior. CBT helps with anxiety, panic, low mood, and patterns that get in the way of daily functioning by teaching practical skill practice and small behavioral changes.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. She collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their goals and preferences, adjusting the plan over time based on what is or isn’t working.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for in-depth work and visual cues, phone works well when bandwidth is limited, and messaging supports short check-ins or when written reflection helps. These formats make it easier to fit sessions around work, caregiving, or other obligations while keeping therapy focused and practical.
