About Donna
Donna King is a licensed professional counselor in Missouri who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship challenges. She brings 18 years of experience and a practical focus to sessions. Donna aims to create a respectful space where clients can be heard and work toward clearer choices.
She listens closely to each person’s story and looks for patterns that shape how they feel and act. Narrative therapy ideas guide much of her work - she helps people separate themselves from problem stories and name the values they want to live by.

Her practice also addresses issues like abandonment, blended family adjustments, communication blocks, and infidelity. Sessions focus on practical steps and honest conversation. Donna helps clients set small goals, try new ways of responding, and review what works.

How narrative and practical approaches work online
Donna often combines Narrative Therapy with client-centered work and cognitive behavioral techniques. Narrative Therapy helps people step back from the stories that define them, so they can notice how problems were shaped and choose different paths. Client-centered work emphasizes being heard and understood, which supports people as they explore difficult feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy targets the thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and offers clear strategies to try in daily life.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will ask about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they try methods that feel useful and adjust the plan over time based on what the client reports and how things change.
Online sessions can be done by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video calls let people meet face-to-face from wherever they are. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or when audio-only time fits a schedule. Live chat and text sessions let clients check in between meetings or use shorter, more frequent touchpoints. These options offer flexibility for those juggling work, caregiving, or health needs, while keeping the focus on practical progress and real-life changes.
