About Donna
Donna Williams Welch is a licensed mental health counselor practicing in Florida. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, anger, relationship strain, family problems, trauma and abuse, and challenges with addictions. Donna creates a calm, nonjudgmental space where people can talk about what’s most worrying them and begin to make small, practical changes.
She draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Emotionally-Focused Therapy to match techniques to each person’s needs. Sessions focus on clear goals, skill-building, and gentle reflection rather than long lectures. The work is collaborative - the person sets priorities and Donna helps with ways to move toward them.
Donna has 11 years of clinical experience and holds the LMHC credential, licensed in Florida. Over that time she has supported people through issues like commitment and communication problems, immigration and multicultural concerns, first responder stress, and the fallout of infidelity. Her practice also addresses more complex concerns including personality disorders and disruptive mood dysregulation disorder.
She pays attention to practical coping skills for everyday life. That can mean breaking big problems into manageable steps, practicing emotion regulation techniques, or building clearer communication habits. The aim is steady progress, not instant fixes.
Donna invites people who are ready to try something different to take the next step. She helps people identify what matters to them, set realistic goals, and practice the skills that make those goals achievable.
How these approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on clarifying what matters to a person and taking small committed steps toward those values. It can help with anxiety, depression, and feeling stuck by teaching acceptance skills and practical action plans.Client-Centered Therapy centers the person’s own experiences and choices. The therapist listens closely, reflects what is said, and supports the person in finding their own answers. This approach is useful when someone needs a steady, empathetic space to process family or relationship stress.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT, looks at patterns of thought and behavior that keep problems going. It uses concrete exercises and homework to change unhelpful thinking and build new habits, which can be helpful for stress, anxiety, and depression.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the person about goals, symptoms, and daily life to decide which methods fit best. That process is collaborative and can change over time as needs shift.
If you are considering online therapy, check which session formats are currently offered before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Many people find it simpler to practice skills in real-life settings between sessions, and therapists can tailor homework and exercises to fit a client’s routine.
