About Donna
Donna Robberecht is a licensed clinical social worker with four decades of experience. She uses clear, practical approaches to help people facing trauma, depression, anxiety, and major life changes. Donna aims to make the first step feel manageable and respectful.
She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. She also uses psychodynamic ideas to look at patterns that developed over time and influence current relationships and feelings.
Background and approach
Sessions are conversational and focused on small, useful changes. Donna works with concerns such as grief, parenting struggles, caregiving stress, and issues around self-esteem and purpose. She also supports people dealing with attachment problems, codependency, narcissism, and mood disorders.
Her approach is practical and tailored to each person's situation. Across her career she has guided people through midlife shifts, career questions, money-related stress, and the challenges of aging. She pays attention to how past experiences shape present reactions, while helping clients build concrete coping skills.
Conversations are straightforward and aimed at clarity. People who choose Donna can expect a steady, experienced clinician who balances exploring deeper causes with hands-on tools. She offers multiple ways to meet so therapy can fit into a busy life.
Taking a first step is acknowledged as brave, and she focuses on making each session feel like progress.

Online support
How CBT and Psychodynamic Work Online
Donna uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot negative thoughts and try different behaviors. CBT sessions are practical and often include short exercises between meetings to test new ways of coping with anxiety, low mood, or stress.She also includes psychodynamic ideas to help people see long-term patterns that affect their relationships and self-view. That approach looks at how past experiences shape current feelings and helps people make sense of recurring reactions.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Donna will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they pick strategies and adjust them as progress is made.
Online sessions offer flexibility that can make therapy easier to keep up. Video calls work well when visual connection matters, while phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into short breaks. Live chat or text-based messaging can be useful for quick check-ins, brief reflections, or when writing things out feels easier than speaking. These options let people bring therapy into their schedule without extra travel or long waits.
