About Donna
Donna Byxbe is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and relationship problems. She speaks plainly and works to make therapy feel practical and understandable. Her approach centers on the goals a client brings and the steps they want to take to feel better.
Donna has nearly three decades of clinical experience, much of it in community mental health programs. She has worked with a wide range of concerns from mood disorders and trauma to parenting strain and addiction.
Background and approach
Her background includes individual work and time supporting groups and couples in therapy settings. She uses several approaches and matches them to what each person needs. That can mean talking through patterns and feelings, trying skills to change unhelpful thoughts, or using focused trauma work when past events continue to cause pain.
Meditation, hypnotherapy, and inner child work are options she may suggest when they suit a client's goals. In sessions she offers straightforward feedback and practical steps clients can use between meetings. Donna emphasizes each person's right to decide their path and to refuse any suggested strategy without pressure.
She frames progress as a step-by-step process shaped by the client's priorities. Donna practices in Texas and brings experience helping people cope with life changes, compassion fatigue, ADHD, panic, and grief. Her work is intended to help people build better day-to-day habits, clearer communication, and steadier emotional ground.

Online support
Approach and online care that fit your goals
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person’s own goals and choices. The therapist listens, reflects, and helps the client name what matters and decide next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors affect each other and teaches practical skills to reduce anxiety, panic, and low mood. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, EMDR, is a structured method used when past events continue to cause distress and can help reduce the intensity of traumatic memories.Picking the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about their needs, goals, and preferences and try methods that fit. Sessions can change over time as progress is made and new priorities emerge, and choices about techniques are made collaboratively.
Online sessions use video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video is useful for a full conversation and visual cues, phone can be better when bandwidth is limited, and text or chat can be a shorter check-in between meetings. These options help fit therapy into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and allow consistent contact when in-person visits are not possible.
