About Donna

Dr. Donna Winsor brings 20 years of clinical experience to work with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, grief, and a wide range of relationship and life-change concerns.

Background and approach

She is an LPC and LMHC licensed in Arizona and Washington and draws on practical skills to help clients rebuild self-esteem, strengthen coping, and navigate challenges such as parenting stress, intimacy issues, anger, career transitions, compassion fatigue, and ADHD. Her style emphasizes empathy, active listening, and earning trust so clients feel genuinely heard.

Dr. Winsor combines evidence-based methods with a down-to-earth approach, teaching real-life strategies that support emotional recovery and improved daily functioning.

She also brings attention to related areas including adoption and foster care, aging concerns, attachment and communication difficulties, caregiving stress, and end-of-life support. Clients can expect a collaborative process that values bravery and practical progress.

Dr. Winsor frames therapy as a partnership focused on restoring confidence and helping people move forward, using interventions tailored to individual goals and circumstances.

Practical approaches for online healing and growth

Dr. Winsor often integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy into online work. CBT focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns to reduce distress and improve coping for issues like anxiety, depression, and stress. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and grounded breathing practices that can help with emotional regulation, overwhelm, and trauma-related symptoms.

Choosing the right approach is collaborative and part of the therapeutic process. She will work with each client to explore goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, adapting methods as progress unfolds rather than assuming a single solution up front.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which offer flexibility for busy schedules and varied communication styles. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care across locations and to access support when in-person visits are difficult, while allowing the therapist to deliver practical skills, coaching, and structured interventions through remote sessions.
