About Donna
Donna King is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) practicing in Missouri with 18 years of clinical experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, relationship and family difficulties, trauma and abuse, depression, addictions, grief, and intimacy-related issues.
Background and approach
She also works with concerns such as parenting, anger, self-esteem, career shifts, bipolar disorder, and coping with life changes, along with focused areas like abandonment, blended family challenges, caregiver stress, codependency, communication problems, and infidelity. Her practice also addresses compassion fatigue, isolation, and issues connected to divorce or midlife transitions.
Her style blends client-centered principles with trauma-informed interventions and structured approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), Existential Therapy, and EMDR where appropriate. Donna aims to engage clients with respect and dignity, meeting people where they are and adapting methods to each person’s needs and goals.
She has experience related to military and veteran matters and applies that background alongside broader trauma work. Prospective clients can expect an approachable clinician who focuses on collaboration and practical strategies to navigate emotional and relational challenges.
Therapeutic approaches for online care and healing
Donna integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy into her online practice. CBT focuses on identifying and changing patterns of thinking and behavior that contribute to emotional distress, and it is often used for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people explore and reorganize emotional responses in their relationships, making it a useful approach for attachment, intimacy, and many relationship difficulties.She approaches treatment collaboratively, recognizing that selecting the right method is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and the presenting concerns with each person and help determine whether a structured CBT approach, emotion-focused work, or another method best fits the situation. This shared decision-making helps tailor online sessions to individual needs.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which allow for scheduling flexibility and consistent access regardless of location within Missouri. These options can make ongoing care more manageable around work, family, and other commitments while preserving continuity of therapeutic progress. Licensed professionals can use these formats to apply CBT and EFT techniques effectively in remote sessions.
