About Donna
Donna Thompson-Lisiecki is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Georgia with 20 years of clinical experience. She describes herself as practical and direct, asking clients to engage actively in the work of change. Her approach centers on helping people break stuck patterns like persistent anger, depression, or repeated negative behaviors.
Donna draws on several therapy styles to suit different needs. She uses client-centered methods to build trust and keep sessions focused on each person's goals.
Background and approach
Emotionally-Focused Therapy ideas help when strong feelings and relationships are at the center of the struggle. She also blends elements of existential and Jungian thinking to help people make sense of life transitions and personal meaning. Mindfulness techniques are woven in to teach simple ways to manage stress and stay present.
Sessions aim to offer practical tools rather than only talk. Donna has worked with adults across many settings over two decades. She has experience addressing issues such as anxiety, addictions, grief, trauma and abuse, parenting strain, career concerns, and compassion fatigue.
Her additional interests include first responder and veteran issues, hoarding, and substance-related problems. Her style is nonjudgmental and supportive, with a clear expectation that change requires real effort. Honesty is emphasized as essential to progress.
Prospective clients should expect a collaborative, goal-focused process that combines skills practice with reflective conversation.

Approaches that guide online sessions
Donna uses client-centered therapy to keep the focus on each person's goals and values, helping them articulate what matters and decide next steps. Emotionally-Focused Therapy elements are used when strong emotions or relationship patterns are the core issue, helping people name feelings and respond differently.She also brings in mindfulness practices to teach simple ways to manage stress and stay present during difficult moments. Together these approaches are used flexibly; the therapist and client discuss what feels most useful and adjust over time in a collaborative way.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to suit different needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues matter. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging work well for brief updates, ongoing coaching, or when someone prefers written communication. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep momentum between appointments.
