About Donna

Dr. Donna Winsor offers support for people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship and intimacy challenges, parenting strain, and career or life-change concerns. She also helps with trauma and abuse, ADHD, compassion fatigue, and issues tied to adoption, aging, or caregiving. Her style aims to make people feel heard and respected from the first conversation. She emphasizes building trust quickly so practical work can begin.

Donna is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with about 20 years of practice. She focuses on restoring self-esteem and confidence through real-life skills. Sessions are grounded in strategies that people can use between meetings to handle daily stressors and emotional setbacks.

Her approach combines structured techniques and a warm, straightforward manner. She listens without judgment and works with each person to set doable goals. She mixes cognitive-behavioral ideas with mindfulness and solution-focused steps to help people move forward.

Dr. Winsor also draws on motivational interviewing to support people who feel stuck or unsure about change. This helps clients clarify what matters to them and find internal reasons to try new behaviors. The overall aim is steady progress rather than quick fixes.

Her background includes two decades of clinical work across a range of life challenges, including hospice and end-of-life care, intellectual disability, and issues around attachment and autism. She values collaboration and practical problem solving when helping people rebuild routines and healthier patterns.

This summary is based on the profile information listed on BetterHelp.

How therapeutic approaches shape online care

Dr. Winsor commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy in her work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors to feel better. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress when daily habits and thinking patterns get in the way. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing skills to reduce reactivity and improve emotional balance, which can help with grief, anger, and overwhelm.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. She will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked for you. Together the therapist and client decide which methods to try and adjust them over time based on what feels helpful.

Because the original biography does not list specific session formats, confirm the current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life by reducing travel, allowing shorter check-ins when days are tight, or offering flexibility around work and caregiving schedules. Licensed professionals can guide you in shaping sessions that match your routines and needs.
