She also supports people dealing with trauma, parenting challenges, relationship and intimacy concerns, ADHD, and career or purpose questions. Her aim is to create a calm, respectful space where people feel heard from the start.

Donna is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with 20 years of experience.

In sessions she listens closely and helps you set clear, manageable goals. She uses evidence-based techniques such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and mindfulness to reduce unhelpful thinking and increase emotional regulation. Motivational Interviewing and solution-focused methods help people find momentum when they feel stuck.

How therapy approaches translate to online care

Dr. Winsor commonly integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy into her work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them against real-life evidence, which can reduce anxiety and depressive thinking. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to help with stress, emotional reactivity, and coping with grief.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. She will talk with you about your goals, try methods that fit your needs, and adjust the plan as you go. Together you decide what techniques feel most useful and sustainable in daily life.

The practical benefits of online therapy include easier scheduling and the ability to fit sessions into a busy week. Because the biography does not list specific session formats, confirm which formats are available before booking. Online work can make it simpler to practice between sessions and to bring real-life situations into conversation so skills can be applied right away.
