Donna Deadman, LPC

Donna Deadman is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, parenting challenges, and midlife questions. She speaks plainly and offers a calm presence so clients can talk through what feels most urgent. Her style is collaborative and focused on practical steps people can use between sessions.

Donna works with adults and teens and emphasizes clear, achievable goals. Sessions focus on what will make daily life more manageable - lowering anxiety, improving communication, or handling big life changes. She encourages small experiments and new routines to test what helps.

Her background includes a Master’s in Counseling from Loyola College in Baltimore and six years listed here as professional experience. She also has prior experience working in school settings and has spent time providing online counseling. Donna combines several well-known approaches to shape the work she does with clients.

In sessions she draws on methods that target thought patterns, emotional connection, and present-moment awareness. That mix helps people who struggle with self-esteem, trauma and abuse, intimacy questions, ADHD, grief, career concerns, and family stress. She pays attention to relationship patterns such as attachment and abandonment worries.

Clients can expect a practical, down-to-earth approach. Donna helps people set achievable goals, try new behaviors, and reflect on progress. She aims to make therapy fit into a busy life while addressing real problems in straightforward ways.

How Donna’s methods translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that reflect personal values. It can help with anxiety, low mood, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) works on the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors by testing unhelpful thoughts and trying new actions to reduce symptoms. It is practical for anxiety, depression, and stress. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in close relationships and helps people change repeated interaction styles that cause conflict or distance.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Donna will talk with the client about needs, goals, and personal preferences and then suggest which methods to try first. The plan is collaborative and may shift as progress is made.

Confirm the available session options before booking, since formats are not listed in this biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into busy schedules, allow shorter check-ins during a workday, and reduce travel time. It also lets people try therapeutic exercises in the places they live their lives. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT, CBT, and attachment-focused work to an online setting to keep sessions practical and focused on real-world change.
