About Donna
Donna Daigle-Thomas is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with seven years of clinical experience. She helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, and depression. She also works with concerns such as addictions, grief, bipolar symptoms, ADHD, and relationship difficulties, including communication problems and first responder issues.
Donna uses straightforward talk and practical methods in sessions. She draws on approaches like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy to address unhelpful thoughts and patterns. She also uses EMDR and mindfulness-based techniques when they may help process traumatic memories or reduce overwhelming reactions.
People bring many different kinds of guilt and shame to therapy, including feelings about past actions or identity. Donna pays attention to how these feelings affect daily life and relationships. Sessions look at concrete steps for handling painful memories, changing self-critical thinking, and building small habits that reduce emotional overload.
Her style is interactive and goal-focused. She encourages people to notice what matters to them and to try experiments between sessions. Progress is tracked in clear, practical ways rather than vague promises.

Approaches you might use in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and to take committed steps toward those values despite difficult thoughts or feelings. ACT is often used for anxiety, chronic stress, and problems where guilt or avoidance get in the way.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and trying small behavior changes to test new ideas. CBT is practical for anxiety, depression, and repetitive self-critical thoughts that feed shame.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a method used to process distressing memories and reduce their emotional intensity. It is commonly used when trauma or abuse contributes to ongoing guilt, flashbacks, or high distress.
Choosing an approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and collaborate with the client to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That may mean trying one approach first and adjusting over time based on how well it helps.
The original profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm available online options before booking. Many people find online sessions help fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Therapists can also adapt exercises, homework, and mindfulness practices for remote sessions so work continues between appointments.
