About Donna

Donna Marchington is a licensed clinical professional counselor with 24 years of experience. She practices in Montana and focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, grief, and depression. Donna creates a steady, approachable atmosphere where thoughts and feelings can be spoken about plainly and without judgment.

She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which helps people notice and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. In sessions she works with clients to set clear, doable steps for making daily life feel more manageable. This often includes practical skills for handling anxiety, coping with loss, and improving communication in close relationships.

Donna also supports people facing trauma, domestic violence, and relationship strain. She helps individuals explore issues like abandonment, codependency, and guilt, and she assists in navigating life transitions such as divorce and blended family stress. First responder issues and emotional numbness or emptiness are also within her focus.

Sessions aim to be straightforward and goal-oriented. Clients can expect a blend of talk, skill practice, and small behavioral experiments to test new ways of responding. Progress is tracked with measurable steps so changes are visible and useful.

How Cognitive Behavioral Therapy works in online sessions

Donna uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. CBT breaks issues into clear parts - thoughts, feelings, and actions - and then tests new ways of thinking and acting. It is often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and problems with negative thinking.

The therapist will work collaboratively to choose strategies that fit each person's goals. Together they review what helps and what does not, try practical exercises, and adjust plans based on what the client prefers and needs. Finding the right approach is part of the work and happens over a few sessions.

If you prefer online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Many people find that regular online meetings help maintain momentum between sessions and make it simpler to practice new skills in daily life.
