About Donnetta
Donnetta Washington is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) practicing in Georgia with 15 years of experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and depression.
Donnetta works with adults who are sorting through emotional pain and difficult life shifts. She pays attention to how trauma and attachment history shape current relationships. Sessions often involve practical steps to manage intense emotions and clearer ways to communicate with others.
Her background includes long-term clinical work with people facing abandonment, adoption and foster care histories, and caregiving stress. She also addresses aging and geriatric issues, body image, codependency, and complex mood concerns such as Disruptive Mood Dysregulation Disorder. Those who bring layered problems or co-morbidity often focus on stabilizing emotion and daily functioning first.
Donnetta uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help clients identify patterns and try different strategies. She encourages small experiments between sessions so people can test changes in real life. The aim is to build practical skills for handling anxiety, setting boundaries, and reducing depressive symptoms.

The biography does not list specific online session formats. Confirm the available session types before booking so you know what to expect. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Therapists and licensed professionals often arrange session length and scheduling to align with work, caregiving, or other daily demands, and Donnetta will discuss these practical details during the intake process to find a reasonable plan.
