About Donna
Dr. Donna Winsor helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship concerns, parenting challenges, work strain, or life changes. She focuses on building self-esteem, managing emotions like anger, and improving communication so daily life feels more manageable.
She approaches care with a direct, down-to-earth style. Sessions aim to make people feel heard and understood first. Then she works on practical skills that can be used between appointments.
Background and approach
The goal is steady progress rather than quick fixes. Donna uses tools drawn from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, mindfulness practices, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused methods. That mix lets her tailor sessions to what a person needs right now, whether that means reframing unhelpful thoughts or setting small, doable goals.
She has twenty years of experience and holds the Licensed Professional Counselor credential and the Licensed Mental Health Counselor credential. Her practice includes support for issues such as trauma and abuse, ADHD, attachment concerns, caregiver stress, adoption and foster care questions, and end-of-life counseling among other focuses. Sessions are offered in English and are available to international clients.
People can connect by video call, phone, live chat, or text messaging. Donna emphasizes collaboration - she helps people set practical goals and works with them at a pace that fits their life.
Practical approaches for online care
Dr. Winsor commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy in online sessions. CBT helps people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors with concrete exercises and homework that can be practiced between meetings. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing skills to reduce reactivity and build calm, which can help with anxiety, stress, and emotion regulation.Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That collaborative process means techniques can be adjusted over time based on what helps most.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text messaging to give practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and use of worksheets. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or when a quieter audio check-in is needed. Live chat or text messaging works well for brief check-ins, coaching, or when someone prefers typing over speaking. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep continuity when schedules or locations change.
