About LaDonna
She focuses on everyday struggles like motivation, confidence, relationship concerns, and caregiver stress. LaDonna invites clients to talk about what matters most and to try simple, manageable steps between sessions. Her approach centers on helping people build coping skills they can use right away.
LaDonna uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, often called CBT, to help people notice how thoughts affect feelings and behavior. She also draws on mindfulness practices to help clients stay present and reduce overwhelm. Together these methods are used to address grief, anxiety, and the stress of caregiving.
Over eight years of practice, she has worked with people dealing with abandonment, adoption and foster care issues, blended family dynamics, aging and geriatric concerns, codependency, and communication problems. LaDonna aims to tailor sessions to each person’s situation rather than offering one fixed plan.
