About Donna
Donna Camerota is a Connecticut Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 24 years of clinical experience helping adults manage stress, anxiety, relationships, grief, and life transitions. She works with people facing mood disorders, chronic health concerns, body image issues, and the stresses that come with caregiving and midlife change.
Her style is direct and person-focused. Sessions emphasize clear communication and practical skills. She helps clients name patterns that came from their family of origin and see how those patterns show up now. Conversations often include setting small goals and practicing new ways of handling conflict or emotional pain.
Donna uses a mix of approaches depending on the situation. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify unhelpful thoughts and test new beliefs. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills can help with emotion regulation and increasing distress tolerance. Client-Centered methods keep the focus on the individual’s priorities and experience.
Typical work covers coping with loss, managing anxiety and depression, addressing addiction concerns, and handling relationship strain. She also supports people dealing with abandonment issues, attachment concerns, blended family dynamics, and caregiver stress. Practical tools and short-term strategies are offered alongside deeper exploration when needed.
Sessions aim to combine clear techniques with steady listening. People usually leave with concrete steps to try between meetings. To start, prospective clients follow the site’s matching process and schedule a first session through the online options button.
How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions
Donna commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy because they offer clear tools people can practice between sessions. CBT helps identify unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of thinking, which can reduce anxiety and depression. DBT provides skills for managing intense emotions and improving distress tolerance, useful for mood instability and strong reactions.She also uses Client-Centered Therapy to keep sessions focused on each person’s priorities and experience. That approach means the therapist listens closely and adjusts pace and techniques to match the client’s goals. Deciding which methods to use is collaborative; the therapist and client review what works and change course when needed.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking since the biography does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when time is tight, and remove travel time that would otherwise be needed. These practical benefits help people maintain progress between meetings while testing new skills in day-to-day life.
