About Donna
Donna King is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) in Missouri with 18 years of experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family problems, trauma and abuse, addiction, grief, and issues around intimacy and self-esteem. Donna also supports people facing parenting strain, caregiver stress, codependency, and life transitions.
She uses straightforward conversation to help people name problems and try different ways of coping. Sessions focus on what is happening now and what practical steps can reduce overwhelm. Donna draws on client-centered ideas to listen and on cognitive-behavioral tools to notice and change unhelpful thinking and habits.
Her background includes work with military-related trauma among other trauma work. She combines emotionally-focused approaches to look at attachment and relational patterns, and she uses EMDR when trauma processing is appropriate. This mix is used to address symptoms and patterns that keep people stuck.
In sessions Donna aims to help people set boundaries, manage strong feelings like anger or grief, and rebuild a sense of self that hasn’t been lost to others’ needs. She can help untangle issues such as abandonment, infidelity, blended family stress, and isolation or loneliness.
People who choose her often want direct, practical guidance alongside space to reflect. She sees clients who identify with different beliefs and backgrounds, and works across a wide range of life concerns in Missouri.
How sessions work
How her therapeutic approaches are used online
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and building understanding. It helps people clarify what matters to them and notice how they respond in relationships. Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to spot unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors to reduce anxiety or depression. Emotionally-focused therapy (EFT) looks at patterns in close relationships and helps people change how they respond to attachment and emotional triggers.Choosing an approach is collaborative. Donna will talk with each person about their goals and try methods that fit those goals. Over a few sessions she and the client can adjust focus and tools to find what helps most for boundaries, trauma symptoms, or relationship patterns.
Confirm the current online session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into work or family schedules, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when days are busy. If EMDR is needed, she will discuss whether the chosen format supports that work and plan accordingly.
