About Donna
Donna Baynes is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Georgia with 10 years of experience. She works with adults who are managing stress, anxiety, depression, parenting concerns, relationship strain, grief, trauma and other life changes. Donna also supports people dealing with ADHD, caregiver stress, career questions, and issues around self-esteem and purpose.
Her style is direct and practical. Sessions focus on clear goals and steps you can try between meetings. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused Therapy to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try different responses.
Donna has a background that includes work in educational settings and helping parents of students with special needs. That experience informs how she talks about parenting challenges and blended family dynamics. She also works with people facing separation, domestic violence, infidelity, and fatherhood concerns.
In a session she will listen, reflect what she hears, and offer exercises or questions to move things forward. Expect short-term strategies alongside conversations about longer-term patterns such as family of origin issues or chronic anger.
Practical matters such as fees and scheduling are handled through a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. To begin, choose the See online therapy options button, complete the short matching questionnaire, and schedule an initial session.
How sessions work
Approaches used in online sessions
Donna commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing in her work. CBT helps identify unhelpful thoughts and test different behaviors. It is often useful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems. Motivational Interviewing focuses on a person’s own reasons for change and can help with ambivalence about parenting choices, career moves, or behavior change.She also draws on Solution-Focused Therapy to set short-term goals and practical steps. That approach looks for small changes that can be built on quickly, which many people find helpful when managing parenting pressures or caregiver stress. Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist and client will discuss goals, try methods, and adjust based on what works best for the person.
The biography does not list specific session formats here, so please confirm available options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Donna will work with clients to find rhythms and practices that fit everyday life and responsibilities.
