About Donna
Donna Marie Clark is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania with 32 years of experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions, anger, low self-esteem, depression, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, and several other concerns listed in her profile.
Her approach is practical and conversational. Sessions focus on clear goals and usable tools rather than abstract theory. She adapts the way she talks and plans work to fit each person’s situation and preferences.
Donna uses several evidence-informed methods, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), Attachment-Based Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy. Those methods guide short exercises, moments of reflection, and concrete behavior changes that people can try between sessions.
People who come for anger-related work often focus on recognizing triggers, learning ways to pause before reacting, and rebuilding trust in relationships affected by frustration. For addictions and impulsivity she blends motivational interviewing ideas with practical relapse-prevention steps and planning.
Her practice also covers coaching around life changes, midlife concerns, aging issues, ADHD, grief, and communication problems. Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time, and costs vary with location. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How sessions work
How therapeutic approaches shape online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice uncomfortable thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose small values-driven actions. It can be useful for anger that comes with rumination or avoidance. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thought patterns that feed intense reactions and testing small behavior changes to reduce reactivity. It is often used for stress, anxiety, and anger management.Finding the right method usually happens together. The therapist will review a person’s goals, daily patterns, and preferences, then suggest approaches to try. Clients and therapist adjust methods over time based on what helps most in real life, so the plan stays practical and collaborative.
This profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm the current options before booking. Online work can still make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example a shorter check-in during a work break, a phone option when bandwidth is limited, or video sessions when body language is helpful. Licensed professionals can use sessions to practice skills, review homework, and rehearse new responses to anger in ways that fit everyday routines.
