Donna Miles Asare, LCSW

Donna Miles Asare is a licensed clinical social worker in California who helps people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, and depression. She emphasizes practical steps and clear goals so people feel steadier day to day. Donna speaks English and works with clients across regions, including international clients, using video, phone, chat, or text formats.

She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas are used when values and committed action can move someone toward a life they care about. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are taught to support emotion regulation and better coping during intense moments.

Donna frames therapy as a collaborative process. She treats each person as the expert on their own story and looks for strengths to build on. Sessions focus on practical tools, small experiments, and skills that can be practiced between meetings.

Her background includes four years of professional work and a California LCSW credential, which shows clinical training and supervised practice. In sessions she keeps language plain and aims to make therapy feel straightforward and manageable.

To begin, a person completes a short matching questionnaire and then schedules sessions based on therapist availability. The service uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.

Using CBT, ACT, and DBT Online for Practical Change

Donna often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and test new, more helpful ways of thinking and behaving. CBT is useful for anxiety, low mood, and everyday stress because it breaks problems into clear steps you can work on between sessions.

She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy when values and committed action are the focus. ACT helps people accept difficult feelings while choosing actions that match what matters most to them. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are offered to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness during high-stress moments.

Choosing the right approach is a joint process. Donna will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has helped before, then tailor methods to fit those needs. That collaborative planning means therapy stays practical and focused on small, achievable changes.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy flexible. Video is good for deeper conversation and skill demonstrations, phone works well when bandwidth is limited, live chat and text provide brief check-ins or ongoing support between meetings. These options let people fit sessions around work, caregiving, or travel while still getting regular therapeutic work.
