Donna Deadman

Donna Deadman, LPC, helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, stress, depression, or big life changes. She works with adults and teens and aims to create a calm, nonjudgmental space for people to talk through what’s going on. Sessions focus on practical steps to reduce worry and build confidence so daily life feels more manageable.

Donna uses a collaborative style. She listens first, then helps clients set clear goals. Sessions are tailored to each person rather than following a fixed script. This approach helps when dealing with relationship strain, parenting stress, anger, self-esteem struggles, and intimacy-related concerns.

Her background includes a Master’s degree in Counseling from Loyola College in Baltimore and six years listed here as professional experience. Donna also has prior work as a school counselor and several years of online counseling experience with adults and teens. She is licensed as an LPC in Texas.

Therapy sessions often blend practical tools and increased self-awareness. Techniques drawn from cognitive behavioral methods and client-centered care are used to spot unhelpful thinking and try new behaviors. Attachment-based ideas are also part of the work when relationship patterns or abandonment worries come up.

Donna lists ADHD, trauma and abuse, family issues, caregiver stress, autism and Asperger Syndrome among focus areas she addresses. People sometimes bring career questions, grief, or concerns about aging and medical challenges like cancer. If someone prefers English sessions or needs international arrangements, those are supported.

How her approaches shape online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on helping people clarify what matters most to them and take steps toward those values even when emotions are difficult. It is useful for stress, anxiety, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT, looks at patterns of thinking and behavior that keep problems going and teaches practical skills to change them, which can help with depression, worry, and anger. Attachment-Based Therapy helps people notice how early relationship patterns affect current connections and works on building more secure ways of relating when intimacy or abandonment issues arise.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That means techniques may be mixed and adjusted over time so sessions feel relevant and helpful for the individual.

For practical details about online sessions, please confirm the current session options before booking. Many people choose online therapy because it can fit into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and make it easier to keep regular appointments around work or caregiving. Some formats are shorter check-ins while others allow for longer weekly sessions; ask about what’s possible so a schedule can be arranged that works with daily life.
