About Donna
Donna Bolger is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Delaware with 25 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship problems, depression, and major life changes. Sessions are conducted in English and she does not take international clients.
Donna focuses on practical, readable conversations. She helps people work through communication problems, guilt and shame, loneliness, and questions about life purpose. She also supports people who want to work on forgiveness and self-love. Her style emphasizes clear collaboration and realistic steps rather than jargon.
In sessions she listens for what matters most to each person and then suggests ways to change daily patterns. This can include learning new ways to talk with others, setting boundaries, or shifting unhelpful thinking. She frames challenges like addiction and anxiety as things to be understood and managed one step at a time.
Donna respects people from different faith backgrounds, including those who prefer a Christian-informed perspective or a secular approach. She aims to align therapeutic work with each person’s values. The focus is on concrete skills and decisions that fit a person’s everyday life.
People who choose her can expect a steady, collaborative process. She asks about goals, tracks progress, and adjusts plans as needed. New clients are guided through a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first session.

Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Donna works with evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on changing thoughts and behaviors. Cognitive approaches help people notice and shift unhelpful thinking patterns that fuel anxiety or depression. This often involves short exercises between sessions and learning to reframe stressful thoughts.Behavioral strategies focus on changing day-to-day habits. For issues like addiction or chronic stress, this means breaking problems into manageable steps, creating routines, and tracking small wins. These methods are practical and task-oriented, which many people find helpful when life feels overwhelming.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Donna will discuss goals, test methods, and adjust based on how a person responds. She works with each person to decide which techniques fit their needs and preferences rather than prescribing a single method up front.
The biography does not list specific session formats. Please confirm current session options before booking. In general, online work can make sessions easier to fit into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people use therapeutic tools between meetings and apply new skills directly to everyday situations.
