01About Donna
Dr. Donna Winsor helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship strain, parenting challenges, grief, and issues with self-esteem. She works with concerns such as anger, career changes, ADHD, compassion fatigue, intimacy-related problems, and life transitions.

Background and approach
Donna aims to make the first step feel manageable. She listens without judgment and focuses on helping people feel heard and understood. Her approach centers on practical skills that can be used between sessions to ease daily stress and improve coping.
In sessions she draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thinking patterns and test new ways of responding. Mindfulness practices are used to reduce reactivity and increase calm in tense moments. Motivational Interviewing helps when someone feels stuck and wants to make a change but isn’t yet sure how.
Donna also uses Solution-Focused Therapy to set clear, reachable goals and track small wins. That combination supports both short-term problem solving and building longer-term resilience. She often pairs skill teaching with coaching-style guidance to help clients move toward real life goals.
Her style is warm, direct, and practical. She prioritizes earning trust first, then building confidence and self-respect. Many people seek her out when they need straightforward tools and steady emotional support while they navigate difficult life events.

04Online support
Approaches you can use in online sessions
Donna frequently uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and test new, more effective responses. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, anger, and many everyday stressors because it pairs thinking changes with practical behavior steps.She also integrates Mindfulness Therapy to teach simple attention and breathing practices. Mindfulness helps reduce reactivity, manage strong emotions, and bring more calm into daily routines.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped in the past, then try methods that fit those needs. Decisions about techniques are made collaboratively and adjusted over time based on what helps most.
Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging makes it easier to fit sessions into a busy life. Video sessions let people read facial cues and do skill practice together. Phone sessions work well when a quieter connection or lower bandwidth is needed. Chat or messaging can be useful for brief check-ins, daily coaching, or when someone prefers written reflection. These options offer flexibility and help people keep continuity of care while working toward their goals.
