About Donna
Donna Marchington is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) practicing in Montana with 24 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship problems, trauma and abuse, grief, and depression. Donna speaks English and brings long-term clinical experience to conversations about coping and change.
She uses straightforward conversation to help people sort through what feels overwhelming. Sessions focus on identifying thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and on practical steps to test small changes. People often come to her with worry about relationships, feelings of emptiness, or difficulty managing grief, and she helps them break those concerns into workable pieces.
Her background includes many years supporting people after difficult life events and loss. That experience informs her approach to relationship difficulties, domestic violence, and first responder issues. She also works with concerns such as abandonment, codependency, communication problems, and commitment issues.
Donna draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people notice unhelpful thinking patterns and try new behaviors. CBT is used to address anxiety, depression, and stress by testing thoughts against real-life evidence and practicing coping skills.
She asks clients to describe what they want to change and then focuses on clear, manageable goals. The process is practical and collaborative, with an emphasis on small steps that fit into day-to-day life.
How Cognitive Behavioral Work Translates to Online Sessions
CBT focuses on spotting patterns of thought and behavior that feed problems, then trying small experiments to change them. It often involves setting clear goals, practicing coping skills, and reviewing what worked between sessions. This approach is commonly used for anxiety, depression, stress, and relationship difficulties.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods that fit the client, and adapt plans based on what helps. That collaboration helps identify whether CBT or another way of working suits the person’s needs and preferences.
