About Donna

LPC Donna Daigle-Thomas is a Licensed Professional Counselor in Texas with seven years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, and depression, and she also addresses addictions, bipolar disorder, grief, and challenges related to ADHD and life changes. Donna works using approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, EMDR, and mindfulness-informed techniques.

Donna keeps sessions straightforward and practical. She encourages people to name the problem and describe how it shows up in daily life. Typical sessions include noticing thoughts and behaviors, practicing skills, and setting small, concrete goals to try between meetings.

Her work also supports concerns about relationships, communication problems, first responder issues, guilt and shame, and questions about life purpose and self-worth. She uses Client-Centered Therapy to listen and reflect what clients bring, and combines that with active strategies from CBT and ACT when useful.

When trauma is part of the picture she can integrate EMDR methods alongside mindfulness practices to help reduce the intensity of traumatic memories and reactions. For addiction and motivation-related concerns she draws on Motivational Interviewing ideas to help people clarify reasons for change and make workable plans.

Donna aims for clear steps rather than long explanations. She asks about what is most pressing, offers a few focused tools, and reviews progress each session. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session.

How her approaches translate to online work

Donna commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in session. ACT helps people notice thoughts and choose values-based actions rather than getting stuck in unhelpful thinking. CBT focuses on identifying patterns of thought and behavior and practicing different responses to reduce distress.

She also uses Client-Centered techniques to listen closely and reflect what clients bring. That approach supports collaboration about which strategies to try next. Together the therapist and client decide which methods fit a person's goals and preferences rather than assuming one approach up front.

Confirm current session options before booking, as specific formats are not listed in the profile. Many people find that remote appointments make it easier to fit counseling into a workday or to avoid travel. Remote sessions can allow for shorter check-ins, follow-up conversations between in-person visits, or sitting through a focused skill-practice without the need to commute. The therapist will help plan sessions so they fit around daily life and the client's goals.
