About Donna
Dr. Donna Daniel is an LPCC - Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor in New Mexico with 35 years of practice. She helps people who are struggling with anger, grief, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy concerns, stress, and life changes. Her work also covers issues like addiction, ADHD, career strain, and caregiver stress.
She uses a flexible, experience-informed style rather than a single fixed method. Sessions tend to be practical and direct. She listens for patterns and brings observations from years of varied practice to each meeting. Clients who want a clear focus on changing damaging patterns and relationships will find that expectation stated up front.
Dr. Daniel combines client-centered work with mindfulness and narrative ideas. She also draws on Jungian and psychodynamic perspectives when helpful. In practice this means she pays attention to how stories, memories, and recurring feelings shape reactions, including how anger shows up in day-to-day life.
Her background includes long-term work with grief, trauma, and stress-related concerns, plus experience in diverse community and military settings. She notes that recent large-scale disruptions have left many people grieving losses of normalcy, identity, and routine, and she addresses those effects directly.
She describes herself as spiritually oriented without aligning to a single religion, and is willing to discuss faith as it affects recovery. She favors brief, focused work but is open to longer cycles when needed. Before beginning she asks clients to be ready to make changes and move away from patterns that cause harm.
How sessions work
Approaches and what online sessions look like
Dr. Daniel commonly draws on client-centered work and mindfulness therapy online. Client-centered work focuses on the client's concerns and priorities, emphasizing listening and collaborative planning for change. Mindfulness therapy uses attention to the present moment and breath or grounding practices to reduce reactivity and manage intense feelings like anger.She also integrates narrative and psychodynamic ideas to help people see patterns in their stories and emotional responses. Narrative techniques look at the stories a person tells about themselves and test alternative meanings. Psychodynamic elements explore recurring feelings and early patterns that influence current behavior. These approaches suit issues such as recurring anger, grief, relationship patterns, and stress reactions.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. The therapist will talk with clients about goals, preferences, and practical needs and then decide together which approaches to try. That collaborative process shapes the pacing and focus of sessions.
