About Donna
Donna Marie Clark is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania with 32 years of experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, addictions, anger, self-esteem, depression, relationship and intimacy concerns, trauma and abuse, bipolar issues, coping with life changes, coaching, compassion fatigue, and ADHD.
She works in a direct, practical way. Sessions look at unhelpful thoughts and habits and test small changes. Conversations are straightforward and aimed at skills you can use between meetings. The goal is clearer thinking and more manageable responses to everyday pressures.
Donna uses several approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT). She blends these methods to address thinking patterns, emotion responses, and relationship concerns. Expect a mix of talking, behavior experiments, and exercises to notice patterns and try alternatives.
Over three decades of work have covered addiction, mood concerns, trauma, and life-stage issues such as aging and midlife change. She will discuss concrete steps to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning. Progress is tracked by practical goals and regular review.
Sessions are conducted in English and are geared toward adults seeking structured help. To start, people are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial appointment that focuses on immediate priorities and next steps.
How therapeutic approaches work in remote sessions
CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to reduce anxiety, depression, and problematic habits. It uses practical exercises and short experiments to alter patterns that keep problems going.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting ruled by them, and then take actions that align with chosen values. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current bonds and communication, and it helps people try different ways of relating.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will review your concerns, goals, and preferences and then suggest methods to try. You and the therapist check progress and adjust strategies if something is not working.

Therapists often adapt exercises and homework so they work well in between scheduled meetings and in everyday life.
