About Donna

LMHC in Florida with 11 years of experience, Donna Williams Welch helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, depression, addictions, grief, and anger.

Donna speaks plainly in sessions and focuses on practical work. She uses therapies that help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts, build emotional skills, and clarify values. Sessions are presented as conversations that encourage honest expression and problem-solving rather than jargon or long assessments.

Her approach blends several methods. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify and test thinking patterns that keep problems going. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is used to clarify what matters most and to take value-driven steps. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills are used for emotion regulation and coping when feelings are intense.

Clients can expect an emphasis on clear goals and practical strategies. Work often includes skill practice between sessions, short experiments, and reviewing what helps in daily life. Communication skills and steps to repair relationship problems are common topics.

Donna also brings emotion-focused methods to address attachment and deeper relational patterns when that fits the situation. She attends to cultural and immigration-related concerns as part of understanding a person’s experience. The first meetings tend to focus on immediate priorities and a plan for next steps.

Sheet 2

How her therapeutic approaches work in remote sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without being driven by them, then choose actions that line up with what matters. It is often used for anxiety, stress, and when someone wants clearer life direction.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thought patterns and testing them with small experiments. This approach is practical for depression, anxiety, and behavioral changes like addiction management.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) supplies concrete skills for regulating strong emotions and improving distress tolerance. These skills are useful when emotions feel overwhelming or when communication breaks down.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will review goals and preferences and recommend which methods to emphasize. Clients and therapist make those choices collaboratively and adjust them over time based on what actually helps.
