Donna Maso, LCSW

Donna Maso is a Florida Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 31 years of clinical experience. She helps people dealing with relationship strain, trauma and abuse, grief, parenting challenges, and anger. Her approach is practical and direct, aimed at helping people manage strong emotions and rebuild connection.

Over three decades Donna has worked in many settings, from outpatient and inpatient services to schools, shelters, and hospice care. She has supported people across the lifespan and has experience with crisis services, court-related work, and correctional settings. That background means she is used to practical problem-solving and safety-focused planning when needed.

In sessions she uses straightforward methods drawn from client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), mindfulness, and solution-focused techniques. She helps clients notice patterns, practice new skills, and test small changes between sessions. Expect clear goals and skill practice rather than vague theory.

When anger is the concern Donna assists people in recognizing triggers, managing impulses, and repairing relationships after conflicts. She also works with related issues such as codependency, communication problems, infidelity, and caregiver stress. Grief, end-of-life issues, and family-of-origin concerns are also within her practice.

Practical matters are part of the work. She has experience with hospice and aging issues, blended family challenges, and supporting people facing long-term medical needs. If you want concrete tools to handle frustration and improve interactions, she focuses on steps you can use in daily life.
