About Donna

Donna Marchington uses a practical, skills-focused approach to help people manage stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma, grief, and depression. She is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor, or LCPC, practicing in Montana with 24 years of experience. Her style is straightforward and aimed at small, helpful changes people can use in daily life.

Donna focuses on clear, manageable tools rather than long lectures. She helps people notice thought patterns, try different ways of reacting, and practice new habits between sessions.

Background and approach

Conversations are direct but warm, and she strives to make the work feel doable even when problems feel overwhelming. Her background includes long experience supporting people after traumatic events and helping them cope with loss. She also addresses relationship concerns and related issues such as communication problems, commitment worries, codependency, and the strain that follows divorce or separation.

First responder stress and symptoms linked to personality difficulties are among the other areas she addresses. Sessions are aimed at practical progress: identifying goals, testing changes, and tracking what helps. Donna explains options plainly and recommends steps a person can try right away.

She encourages questions and adapts plans when something does not fit. People who prefer concrete techniques and clear next steps often find this approach helpful. Donna’s goal is to help each person move toward more stable mood, clearer thinking, and better day-to-day functioning.

Approaches Donna names

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each therapist lists and does not check training records.

Online support

Cognitive Behavioral Tools and Online Care

Donna uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, which focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new behaviors. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and many common relationship concerns because it breaks problems into small, changeable steps.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences, try techniques, and adjust the plan if something does not fit. Together they decide which tools to use and how to practice them between sessions.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care fit varied schedules. Video calls support face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be a good choice when bandwidth is limited or when someone needs a quicker check-in. Live chat and text messaging let people exchange short updates, try coping strategies in the moment, or keep regular contact without scheduling a full video meeting. These options aim to make it easier to stay consistent with therapy while balancing day-to-day life.
