About Donna

Donna Curran is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 30 years of experience helping people feel less overwhelmed and more hopeful. She focuses on easing anxiety, lifting depression, and improving relationship closeness. Donna writes in straightforward terms and aims to make therapy practical and understandable for busy parents and adults.

She uses a mix of cognitive and solution-focused ideas to create simple plans clients can follow between sessions. Sessions look at thinking patterns that keep problems going and then try small, doable changes.

Background and approach

Donna pays attention to family dynamics and relationship patterns when those issues come up. Donna trained at Temple University where she earned a Master’s degree in Social Work and holds a second Master’s in Health Administration from Pennsylvania State University. She is licensed as a clinical social worker in Florida and Virginia and has three decades of clinical practice to draw on.

In sessions she works collaboratively with each person to set clear goals and track progress over time. She prefers short-term practical steps when clients want relief quickly, while also addressing deeper patterns for longer-term change. Many clients focus on issues such as parenting strain, intimacy concerns, grief, addiction, sleep and eating problems, or major life transitions.

Her style is direct but warm, with attention to what will fit into a person’s daily life. If someone wants to reduce anxiety, handle anger better, or rebuild trust after conflict, she helps create a plan and checks progress along the way.

Approaches that translate well to online therapy

Donna’s work centers on cognitive strategies and solution-focused methods. Cognitive strategies help identify and change unhelpful thought patterns that feed anxiety or low mood, and they are often paired with practical homework to test new ways of thinking. Solution-focused techniques concentrate on small, achievable steps and clear goals that people can try between sessions to see quick improvements.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will review concerns, goals, and preferences together with each client and adjust methods as needed. Clients and therapist check progress regularly and refine the plan so the work stays relevant to daily life.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video offers face-to-face interaction for deeper conversations, phone can be easier when video is not practical, live chat allows shorter check-ins or on-the-go messaging, and text works well for ongoing brief reflections or reminders. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to keep momentum between sessions.
