About Donna
Donna Marchington is a licensed clinical professional counselor (LCPC) practicing in Montana. She uses straightforward, practical methods to help people manage stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, grief, depression, and the effects of trauma and abuse.
Donna offers a calm, nonjudgmental space where clients can talk about painful experiences and current pressures. She focuses on clear goals and realistic steps, helping people notice unhelpful thinking and try small behavior changes that can make daily life easier.
With 24 years of experience, Donna blends steady clinical experience with a warm, down-to-earth approach. She helps people sort through complex feelings like guilt, shame, emptiness, and problems stemming from abandonment or family conflict. Codependency and communication problems are included among the concerns she addresses.
Her work often centers on identifying practical coping skills and simplifying choices when life feels overwhelming. Sessions tend to focus on what is happening now, what patterns repeat, and what small adjustments might reduce distress.
Donna encourages people to move at a manageable pace. She emphasizes listening first, then shaping a plan together. That approach helps clients build skills they can use between sessions and over time.
How CBT-based work translates to online therapy
Donna uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) as a practical method for noticing unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. CBT focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions, and it can help with anxiety, low mood, relationship patterns, and stress. It often involves simple exercises and real-life experiments to try between sessions.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to decide whether CBT techniques fit their needs and goals. That shared process helps shape which strategies to try and how quickly to move forward.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people use therapeutic exercises in the context of their everyday routines. Ask about session formats when you sign up so scheduling matches your needs and daily life.
