About Donna
Donna Cummings is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) practicing in North Carolina. She helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, depression, anger, addiction, and issues with self-esteem. Donna also supports those facing grief, relationship and family stress, career concerns, and life changes.
She uses practical, straightforward methods in sessions. Conversations focus on current problems and steps people can try between meetings.
Background and approach
Donna mixes acceptance and commitment ideas with cognitive behavioral techniques and mindfulness to help clients notice patterns and try different choices. Donna has two decades of experience in mental health work. That background includes helping people build life skills, cope with trauma, and address compassion fatigue and caregiver stress.
She also offers coaching for those who want support with goals and routines rather than formal therapy. Sessions are offered in English and she accepts international clients. Therapy is available by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging.
Fees vary by location and use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. To begin, a person selects the Start Therapy button and completes a short matching questionnaire. Scheduling then follows the therapist's listed availability and the client’s preferences.

Approaches that fit online care
Donna often draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in online sessions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings and then commit to actions that match their values, which can help with anger, anxiety, and life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing different behaviors to reduce symptoms like worry, low mood, and sleep problems.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Donna will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video allows face-to-face conversation and screen sharing for worksheets. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief check-ins, quick coaching, or ongoing accountability between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or travel schedules while keeping treatment consistent.
