About Donna

Donna Marchington is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) practicing in Montana with 24 years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, grief, and depression. Donna also lists related concerns such as codependency, communication problems, abandonment, and family issues among her focus areas.

In sessions she keeps things practical and direct. Clients talk about current problems, identify patterns, and try small changes to see what helps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is part of her approach, so thought and behavior patterns are commonly discussed and worked on together.

Donna helps people dealing with the fallout from difficult relationships and loss. That can include setting firmer boundaries, managing intense emotions, or coping with shame and guilt. She also supports people navigating separation, blended family stress, or the effects of domestic violence.

Her style favors clear goals and short-term strategies when those fit the situation. Practical skills, behavior experiments, and reworking unhelpful thinking are typical tools. Sessions often focus on what the client can try between meetings to test new ways of responding.

People looking to begin a counseling process are guided through a simple intake and scheduling step. Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time, and clients should confirm available session formats before booking. Conversations are held in English and she does not work with international clients.

How sessions work

How her CBT approach translates to online work

Donna uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try new responses. CBT breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions so clients can test small behavior changes and track what helps. This approach is often used for anxiety, depression, relationship patterns, and managing strong emotions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with each person to decide whether CBT or another way of working fits their goals and preferences. That conversation looks at the client's needs, what has or hasn’t helped before, and what feels manageable to try in weekly sessions.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm the available online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. For many people, being able to schedule counseling around work, caregiving, or medical appointments helps keep progress consistent without promising any particular outcome.
