Donna Marie Clark, LPC

Donna Marie Clark is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Pennsylvania with more than three decades of experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, addiction struggles, anger, self-esteem challenges, and relationship or intimacy concerns. Donna speaks plainly and focuses on practical steps people can use right away.

She uses a mix of approaches to match each person's needs. Sessions are collaborative and goal-oriented. Donna listens without judgment and works with people to set small, doable actions between meetings. She also offers coaching-style support for life transitions and motivation challenges.

People who come for help often need clearer coping tools, steadier mood management, or stronger communication skills. Donna draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas to help people live according to their values despite difficult feelings.

Her work includes attention to trauma and attachment patterns when those are relevant to the concerns presented. She will adapt a treatment plan to each person’s history and goals rather than use one fixed method. Progress is reviewed regularly and plans are adjusted as needed.

Sessions can address long-term issues like bipolar disorder or ongoing addictions as well as situational problems such as midlife change, caregiver fatigue, or career drift. Donna aims to make therapy a practical part of daily life so people can notice small, steady improvements.

Therapeutic approaches and online options

Donna commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice patterns of thought that feed anxiety or low mood, and then try small behavioral experiments to test new ways of coping. She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which teaches people to accept difficult feelings while taking steps that match their values. Attachment-Based Therapy is used when early relationship patterns affect current connections and emotional responses.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made, keeping the process collaborative throughout.

Online therapy sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is useful for in-depth conversations and nonverbal cues, while phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit into a work break. Live chat and text messaging let people check in between sessions or use shorter updates when a quick touchpoint helps maintain momentum.
