About Donna
Donna Marchington is an LCPC - Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor in Montana with 24 years of experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship problems, trauma and abuse, grief, and depression. Sessions are conducted in English and she does not work with international clients.
Donna uses straightforward methods to help people notice the thoughts and habits that get in the way. She favors Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and to test new ways of responding. That approach is practical and focused on specific thoughts, behaviors, and small changes that add up over time.
She also addresses problems tied to abandonment, codependency, communication difficulties, blended family issues, divorce and separation, and the emotional effects of domestic violence. First responder issues, forgiveness, guilt and shame are listed as additional areas she works with. Donna explains options clearly and helps people choose steps they can try between sessions.
Her style is direct and structured. Sessions typically include review of recent situations, identifying thought patterns, and trying concrete alternative responses. Homework or short experiments between meetings are often suggested to build new habits.
Donna asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule an initial session. Costs vary with location and use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. Anyone considering work with her should confirm current session options before booking.
How Donna uses CBT online and what to expect
Donna primarily uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy online, which means sessions focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing practical alternative responses. CBT sessions often involve short exercises, tracking patterns, and setting small experiments to try between meetings. This method is commonly used for anxiety, stress, depression, and relationship-related problems.Finding the right approach is a collaborative effort. Donna will work with each person to decide whether CBT fits their goals and preferences. She discusses specific steps, checks how they feel about the plan, and adjusts the approach based on results and client feedback.
The online setup can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Confirm the current session options before booking, since formats were not specified in the biography. Practically, online sessions can save travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and help maintain consistency during busy periods. Donna notes that sessions often include review of recent situations, thought work, and brief between-session tasks so progress can be built into everyday routines.
