About Donna
Donna King is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Missouri with 18 years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship and family strain, trauma and abuse, depression, addictions, grief, parenting pressures, and anger. She also supports people dealing with career changes, self-esteem struggles, and compassion fatigue.
Donna uses straightforward, conversation-based care. Sessions focus on identifying patterns that keep problems active and on building practical skills to handle strong feelings. She combines person-centered ways of listening with approaches that address thinking and feeling, depending on what a person needs.
Her background includes work with a wide range of concerns such as abandonment, blended family issues, caregiver stress, codependency, communication problems, infidelity, and isolation. She has specific experience related to veteran and armed forces issues and trauma broadly. That experience shapes how she approaches difficult memories and relationship wounds.
Clinically, Donna draws on Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), Existential Therapy, and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). She explains methods in simple terms and uses them to help people reduce reactivity, manage anger, and repair strained connections.
Sessions are conducted in English and follow the counseling standards expected of a Missouri LPC. Cost varies with location and she offers a subscription payment model that can be canceled at any time. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and a first session is scheduled.
How sessions work
How Donna’s approaches translate to online work
Donna often uses Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her work. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on attentive listening and helping people make sense of their feelings; it can help when anger comes from unmet needs or feeling unheard. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches concrete skills to reduce reactivity and change unhelpful thinking patterns.She also uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) to address relational patterns and strong emotions in close relationships. EFT helps people notice interaction cycles that escalate conflict and practice new ways of responding that reduce tension and build trust.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before, then recommend an approach to try. That decision is collaborative and can change as therapy progresses.
Session formats are not detailed here, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - for example attending from a quieter room, using a shorter phone check-in when time is tight, or choosing a video session for more face-to-face interaction. These practical choices help keep therapy consistent with everyday demands without promising a specific service.
