About Donna
Dr. Donna Daniel, LPCC, practices in New Mexico and has 35 years of experience. She helps people with grief, anxiety, depression, addictions, relationship and intimacy concerns, stress, ADHD, and a wide range of life changes. She describes her work as bringing her whole self to sessions and sensing what will be most useful for each contact.
Donna uses an eclectic mix of approaches informed by many theorists. She names client-centered, Jungian, mindfulness, narrative, and psychodynamic ideas among those she draws on. In practice this can look like listening closely, reflecting themes back, and using mindfulness or story work to shift how someone understands a problem.
She also has specialized experience in grief and thanatology, and notes trauma-informed perspectives in her work. She references life stages and aging, caregiver stress, body image, and issues tied to gender and sexual identity among areas she attends to. She emphasizes brief therapy options while remaining open to longer cycles when needed.
Donna writes that spiritual questions often appear in sessions and says she is spiritual rather than strictly religious. She reports wide life experience, including travel and time living off-grid, and a long professional history that includes work with diverse settings and populations.
Her style is straightforward and practical. She asks that clients be ready to work on changing damaging patterns and relationships. Prospective clients are asked to confirm current session options before booking and to follow the site's process to start.

How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on attentive listening and reflecting what matters to the client. It helps with relationship issues, self-esteem, and decisions by centering the client's own goals and experience. Jungian ideas pay attention to recurring themes, symbols, and personal stories that shape identity and meaning, which can be useful for people exploring midlife issues or spiritual concerns. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment practices and simple attention skills to reduce reactivity and manage stress or anxiety.Choosing an approach is collaborative. She will work with the client to identify goals and test which methods fit best. Sessions can evolve over time, mixing listening, story work, and mindfulness exercises based on what helps.
The platform's session formats are not specified in her biography, so confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make scheduling easier and allow therapy to fit into daily life. They can shorten commute time, allow for brief check-ins between in-person visits, and make it simpler to continue work when travel or relocation occurs.
