About Donna
LCPC in Montana with 24 years of clinical experience, Donna Marchington helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief, and depression. She works directly with clients to talk through painful experiences and find clearer ways to cope. Sessions focus on practical steps rather than abstract theory.
Donna uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) as a primary approach. That means she and the client look at patterns of thinking and behavior together, then try small, testable changes to reduce distress. CBT is used to address anxiety, mood struggles, and relationship patterns that keep problems cycling.
In sessions she helps people name difficult feelings and traces how those feelings affect choices day to day. Conversations include identifying unhelpful thoughts, practicing different reactions, and building useful routines. She offers direct feedback and concrete exercises clients can try between meetings.
Donna also works on issues related to abandonment, codependency, commitment concerns, communication problems, and family stress. She brings that focus to situations involving separation, divorce, domestic violence, and the specific strains first responders face. Clinical attention can include grief work and addressing shame or guilt.
People who come to her can expect a clear, step-by-step approach. She helps set goals and checks progress as therapy continues. To begin, readers should follow the practice's intake steps to match with a suitable time and format.

How CBT informs remote work and practical care
CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing different behaviors to reduce symptoms. In practical terms this means a client and therapist track specific situations, notice thoughts that arise, and try short experiments between meetings to see what changes. CBT is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and problems with recurring relationship patterns.Sessions can also address grief responses and trauma-related reactions by building manageable coping steps and grounding routines. The therapist will work collaboratively to choose which CBT techniques to use and when to add other supportive strategies. Finding the right fit is part of the work together; the therapist helps set goals and adjusts methods based on a client's needs, goals, and preferences.
The biography did not list which remote formats are used, so confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, for example by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during a workday, or avoiding camera use when desired. These practical benefits help clients maintain consistency with sessions and try techniques in everyday settings.
