About Donna
Donna Byxbe is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with nearly three decades of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, relationship struggles, mood concerns, and parenting challenges. Donna uses clear, practical strategies so people can make steady progress toward their goals.
Donna has worked in community mental health settings and in independent practice. That background gives her experience with a wide range of problems, from everyday stress to serious mood disorders.
Background and approach
She blends several approaches to match what an individual wants to work on and how they prefer to learn. Her approach centers on listening closely to what each person brings and shaping goals together. Donna uses client-centered methods to follow the client’s lead, cognitive behavioral techniques to change unhelpful thinking and behavior, and EMDR for trauma-related distress when appropriate.
She also draws on mindfulness and psychodynamic ideas to help people understand patterns that keep them stuck. Sessions are practical and focused on skills people can use between meetings. Donna supports work on attachment concerns, blended family and family problems, forgiveness, guilt and shame, infidelity, panic, post-traumatic stress, and coping with life transitions.
She also helps with addictions, ADHD, compassion fatigue, and seasonal mood changes. Donna works in Texas and provides care in English. With a long history of clinical work, she aims to help people feel heard, build new coping tools, and move toward the life they want.

Online support
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Donna often uses client-centered therapy, which focuses on listening and following the client's agenda to set goals and priorities. This approach helps people who need a supportive space to talk things through and decide what matters most to them.She also draws on cognitive behavioral therapy, which teaches practical skills to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT is useful for anxiety, panic, mood concerns, and coping with everyday stress. When trauma is a focus, Donna may incorporate Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, or EMDR, as a method to address traumatic memories and reduce their emotional intensity.
Finding the right mix of methods is a collaborative process. Donna will work with each person to decide which approaches fit their needs, goals, and comfort level. She explains options, answers questions, and adjusts the plan as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video is helpful for a full conversation and visual cues, phone calls use less bandwidth, live chat can work for brief check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options help clients fit therapy into busy lives and access care from different settings.
