Donna Marchington

Donna Marchington is a licensed clinical professional counselor (LCPC) practicing in Montana. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, trauma and abuse, grief, and depression. Donna aims to offer clear, straightforward support for people taking difficult first steps toward change.

Donna uses practical techniques to help clients notice how thoughts and actions affect mood and behavior. She listens for patterns that keep people stuck and works with them to try new, manageable ways of responding. Sessions are conversational and goal-focused, with an emphasis on small, steady progress.

With 24 years of experience, Donna draws on a long history of working with adult concerns like abandonment, codependency, communication problems, and the aftermath of separation. She also addresses issues such as domestic violence, first responder stress, and feelings of emptiness or shame. Her background supports a broad approach rather than a single fixed method.

Donna describes the therapy space as nonjudgmental and open. She encourages clients to speak honestly about difficult feelings and to set realistic steps toward relief. People who want to regain balance after loss, relationship change, or intense stress may find this a practical, collaborative way forward.

How CBT and collaborative planning work online

Donna uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in simple, practical ways to help people spot patterns of thinking that increase stress and worsen mood. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to see what helps in daily life. This approach can be useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and relationship worries.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose techniques that match their needs, goals, and pace. Sessions include reviewing what has been tried, adjusting plans, and setting realistic next steps.

Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people connect from where they are that day. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT exercises to work over distance and help clients practice skills between meetings.
