Donna Marie Clark, LPC

Donna Marie Clark is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania with over three decades of clinical experience. She helps people manage stress and anxiety, cope with addictions, handle anger, and build self-esteem and confidence. Donna approaches each person with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and she focuses on practical steps that feel doable day to day.

Donna adapts conversations and plans to match each person’s needs. Sessions look at thoughts and everyday habits that keep problems going and identify small changes that make life easier. She uses approaches like acceptance and commitment ideas, cognitive techniques, and emotion-focused work to address how people think, feel, and connect with others.

Her background includes long-term work in counseling settings in Pennsylvania, bringing 32 years of experience to the room. That time has given her practice helping people through relationship challenges, trauma and abuse, bipolar issues, and life transitions such as midlife shifts and aging concerns.

Donna also addresses topics such as ADHD, compassion fatigue, grief around life purpose, and substance use problems. She works with people facing issues around attachment, communication, codependency, and impulsivity. Her style is straightforward and compassionate, aiming to empower people to make steady progress.

She invites people who are ready to try therapy to think about small, practical changes first. Conversations focus on what feels most important to the client and on building realistic steps toward a more manageable daily life.

How her approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to actions that match their values. It can be useful for stress, anxiety, and motivation problems. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thought patterns and testing small behavior changes to reduce symptoms like depression or worry. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) looks at emotions and connection, which can help with relationship or intimacy-related issues.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has helped before, then try methods that fit the person’s situation. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made as progress is tracked.

Session logistics should be confirmed before booking because specific formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so people can meet during workday breaks or evenings. Talk with the therapist about what will work best for scheduling and what type of session length or rhythm suits daily routines.
