About Donna
Dr. Donna Pritchard is a licensed clinical social worker with ten years of experience. She holds LCSW credentials in New York and Florida and works with adults on grief, self-esteem, coping with life changes, and trauma and abuse.
She focuses on practical steps people can try between sessions. She talks through problems, helps identify unhelpful thoughts, and suggests small behavior changes to test. She also supports people dealing with caregiver stress, hospice and end-of-life concerns, life purpose questions, and women’s issues.
Her approach blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with solution-focused techniques and trauma-focused methods. That means she uses structured exercises, brief goal-oriented strategies, and trauma-aware tools to address symptoms and patterns. Sessions aim to be clear and action oriented so people leave with things to practice.
Dr. Pritchard offers a faith-informed perspective to clients who request it and discusses spiritual concerns alongside psychological ones when relevant. She works collaboratively to set goals and decide which methods to try first rather than prescribing a single path.
She emphasizes skills people can use day to day, such as thought records, activity planning, and short experiments to test new responses. People who want straightforward, step-by-step guidance about grieving, rebuilding confidence, or managing life transitions may find this practical style useful.
How her CBT and trauma approaches work online
Dr. Pritchard uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different responses. CBT exercises often include writing down thoughts, testing assumptions, and planning small behavioral experiments to change patterns. Solution-Focused Therapy is brief and goal oriented and helps clarify immediate next steps and measurable goals rather than spending long on causes.Trauma-Focused Therapy is used when past traumatic events affect current functioning. It focuses on stabilizing symptoms, building skills to manage distress, and then addressing trauma memories in paced steps. These approaches are described and chosen collaboratively so the person and therapist decide what to try based on symptoms, goals, and preference.
Practical benefits of online sessions include fitting appointments around work or caregiving, avoiding travel time, and keeping regular check-ins that match a busy schedule. The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm which options are available before booking. The therapist and client work together to choose an approach and a session rhythm that fits daily life.
