About Donna
With 35 years in counseling, Dr. Daniel brings a wide view of human challenges. She uses an eclectic mix of techniques and follows the person rather than a single theory. Sessions often focus on naming patterns, noticing habits that keep someone stuck, and trying small changes that can make daily life easier.
Her background includes long-term work in varied settings and travels that informed her outlook. She describes herself as spiritual more than religious and is comfortable discussing faith when it matters to a client. She also pays attention to emotional and somatic signals during sessions to understand how someone is coping in the moment.
Dr. Daniel favors brief, goal-focused work but is willing to support longer cycles when needed. She asks that clients want to change and be willing to address harmful patterns. That straightforward expectation helps keep therapy practical and action-oriented.
Her approach draws on mindfulness, narrative thinking, psychodynamic ideas, Jungian perspectives, and client-centered principles. She lives in New Mexico and works from a perspective shaped by decades of practice and varied life experiences.
