About Donna

Donna Rudd is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in South Carolina with over 30 years of experience helping people navigate life’s challenges.

Background and approach

She draws on a long career that began in K–12 education, where she worked as a classroom teacher, special education resource teacher, and guidance counselor, and now applies that background to support clients facing stress, anxiety, depression, parenting concerns, self-esteem struggles, and issues with focus such as ADHD.

Her style emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion, with sessions shaped around each person’s unique needs and goals. Donna combines practical strategies and supportive listening to address problems like panic attacks, anger, trauma and abuse, and life transitions, while also exploring topics such as life purpose, women’s issues, and young adult challenges.

She aims to guide clients through their own journeys, encouraging motivation and confidence along the way. Those seeking help will find an experienced clinician who centers the client’s priorities and adapts therapeutic tools to fit individual circumstances.

Donna views seeking help as a meaningful first step toward constructive change and personal growth.

Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life

Donna often draws on cognitive behavioral therapy to help clients identify unhelpful thought patterns and try practical strategies for managing symptoms like anxiety, panic, and low mood. CBT focuses on clear, goal-oriented techniques that can lead to measurable changes in daily coping and behavior.

She also uses client-centered therapy to create an accepting, empathic space where the therapist follows the client's lead and supports personal discovery. This approach emphasizes listening and collaboration so clients feel heard while exploring motivation, self-esteem, and life purpose.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Donna partners with clients to assess needs, goals, and preferences, and then adapts methods - drawing from CBT, client-centered techniques, mindfulness, or motivational interviewing - to find what fits best for each person.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access consistent care, maintain momentum between meetings, and use therapeutic tools in everyday settings without traveling to appointments.
