About Donna Deadman

Starting therapy can be a big step, and I congratulate you on taking the first move toward meaningful change. As a compassionate and experienced online counselor, I specialize in helping adults and teens navigate anxiety, depression, stress and life transitions. My goal is to provide a safe, non-judgemental space where you can explore your challenges, gain new insights and build confidence to move forward. I believe in the power of human resilience and will take a collaborative approach, tailoring each session to your unique needs.

I hold a Masters in Counseling at Loyola College in Baltimore. I have 16 years’ experience as a School Counselor and five years working online with adults and teens.

My approach combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Gesalt Therapy. Both approaches are practical in dealing with specific problems. CBT involves the therapist and client work collaboratively to build a strong rapport that is crucial in the process. Gesalt Therapy helps clients to become more aware of specific issues which is so crucial to change.

You have taken the first step. The online platform works well with many peoples busy schedules. My office hours are on the weekends and weeknights during the school year. In June and July I have morning, late afternoon and weekend availability.

I look forward to working with you.

“Donna has been a huge help to me.”

“I enjoyed our sessions and find them useful.”

“Donna has been extremely helpful. She really understands my situation well and offers great advice.”

“I had two sessions this far, and I really appreciate her expertise and advices”

“Two years ago I had many family issues which Donna helped me to navigate and understand. She offered me a listening ear and guidance on situations. Her insight has always been helpful and I have kept it with me. I took a two year pause on therapy, and I find myself in a situation where I need her again. To my surprise she made herself available immediately and I feel secure that when I need her she is there.”

“Donna was very kind and good at understanding why I felt the way I did about my situations. She helped me manage my stress efficiently and reflect on the roots of my anxiety. She also chose very helpful worksheets for me that helped reassure me.”

“Great experience, she’s very in tune with what’s initially being said. I more focused on a end game idea and she had me back tracking to my initial comments. So much so it was making me misunderstand myself. That was until I actually took her advice went back and dealt with my issues head on. Who knew direct communication with your partner wasn’t so scary after all. Without a doubt this has changed my life and I fell it will continue to do so for the remainder of my relationship.”

“Best therapist I’ve had, she’s extremely relatable and speaks to me like the friend I need !”

“As a man dealing with PTSD, work, and my dependents, I find it to be a breath of fresh air when my session comes up to talk to Donna. She has been very thoughtful and encouraging throughout our time together. I challenge you to find a better listener then this lady here! 100% recommend for anyone who needs that breath of fresh air!”

“Great listener.”

“I liked Donna right away. I loved that she has had similar experiences and that she understood me from a personal level as well as professional. I would def recommend her to my friends for sure!!”

“Donna has been extremely helpful to me in my situation and very understanding of the issues and challenges that I face,<br /> I am truly grateful to have someone who is able to listen, assimilate, challenge and come up with practical and pragmatic solutions as well as offering insight and experiences as well!”

“Great listener with good insights. I like that she gives homework in the form of worksheets so I can physically do the work and understand what I need to do to progress.”

“A great listener who is always ready to let you express your issues and give you practical advice that you can implement in your day to day”

“Donna is a really warm person and makes you feel comfortable to share really quickly, I really like her approach to making the sessions very personal, which makes it feel like talking to a friend. She also provides resources and ways to overcome problems.”
