About Donna
Donna Baynes is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Georgia. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, anger, depression, relationship strain, and parenting challenges. Donna also supports those coping with grief, trauma and abuse, career shifts, ADHD, and compassion fatigue.
Donna brings ten years of counseling experience to her work. She aims for a warm, open, and non-judgmental tone in sessions. Conversations focus on practical steps people can try between meetings and on building clearer ways to handle emotional spikes and conflicts.
Background and approach
Her approach blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused Therapy to match each person's needs. That means identifying unhelpful thinking patterns, finding motivation for change, and setting small, achievable goals. Sessions often involve action plans and simple tools people can use right away.
Donna has worked in educational settings and with parents of students who have special needs, which informs her practical, everyday focus. She emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and steady encouragement while clients work toward clearer routines and improved coping. Clients can expect a collaborative process that prioritizes their goals.
Donna encourages people to bring what matters most to sessions and to try small experiments between appointments. Her aim is to help people find more calm, better problem-solving, and greater confidence in daily life.

Approaches that guide online sessions
Donna commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT breaks problems into small parts so practical steps can reduce anxiety, anger, and low mood.She also uses Motivational Interviewing to help people find their own reasons to change. This approach is conversational and helps uncover motivation for new habits or choices when someone feels stuck.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Donna will talk with clients about goals and preferences and then adapt techniques to match what feels most useful. The choice of method is collaborative and can shift as needs change.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging. Video allows face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone calls can be simpler when bandwidth is limited, live chat is useful for short check-ins, and text messaging supports quick updates or ongoing encouragement. These options make scheduling easier and let people fit therapy into work, school, or caregiving routines.
