About Donna
Donna King is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor in Missouri with 18 years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationships and family concerns, trauma and abuse, addictions, grief, intimacy issues, parenting strains, anger, self-esteem, career concerns, bipolar disorder, and coping with life changes.
Donna sees people who bring concerns like abandonment, blended family challenges, caregiver stress, codependency, communication problems, divorce and separation, infidelity, isolation and loneliness, and issues tied to military service. She also lists forgiveness, guilt and shame, jealousy, midlife crisis, and compassion fatigue among areas she addresses.
Her style is person-centered and practical. She uses Client-Centered Therapy alongside Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy, and she also works with Existential Therapy and EMDR when appropriate. Sessions focus on clear goals, straightforward discussion, and skills people can try between appointments.
Donna notes that her Christian faith is part of who she is, and she also sees people who are not Christian. She aims to treat everyone with dignity and respect and to work collaboratively on the problems they bring.

How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, understanding what matters to the client, and helping them steer sessions toward their priorities. It suits people who want a counselor who follows their lead and reflects back what they say.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thinking and behavior and teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful habits. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress when practical tools and homework are useful.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) pays attention to emotional patterns in close relationships and helps people express and respond to emotions in clearer ways. It can be helpful for relationship and intimacy concerns.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Donna will work with the client to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That decision is collaborative and can change as people try different ways of working.
Session logistics should be confirmed before booking since specific formats were not listed in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counseling into study, work, or other daily routines by removing travel time and allowing meetings during breaks. They can also let someone choose a shorter check-in or a session that does not require video when that better suits their day. Licensed professionals adapt approaches to online settings so the focus remains on practical skills, emotional work, and agreed goals.
