Donna Daigle-Thomas, LPC

Donna Daigle-Thomas is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) based in Texas who focuses on practical help for stress and anxiety. She encourages people to take the first step and recognizes how hard that can be. Her approach is direct and welcoming, aimed at making it easier to talk about difficult feelings.

She creates a space where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. Sessions focus on understanding what is causing distress now and on small, doable steps to feel more in control. She uses methods that help clients notice their thinking and learn different ways of responding.

Donna draws on several evidence-informed approaches, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, cognitive behavioral techniques, and mindfulness practices. These are used to reduce unhelpful thinking patterns, manage strong emotions, and build routines that ease daily stress. EMDR may be part of her work when trauma memories are a central concern.

Over seven years of practice, she has supported people through depression, grief, addiction concerns, and the strain of life changes. Additional focus areas include ADHD, relationship and communication challenges, guilt and shame, and issues related to first responder work. Her experience includes helping people rebuild motivation and self-compassion after setbacks.

She works in English and practices in Texas. If you feel stuck or overwhelmed, she helps break problems into steps you can try between sessions. To begin, follow the site process to match and schedule a session with her.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then commit to actions that reflect their values. It can be helpful for ongoing anxiety, stress, and making life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and testing unhelpful thoughts and building practical skills to change behavior and mood. It often suits worry, panic, and low mood by teaching concrete strategies to try between sessions. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and increase calm; it supports stress management and emotional regulation.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Donna will collaborate with each person to find what fits their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they will try methods and adjust them based on what helps most in daily life.

In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people practice skills in their usual environment and bring real-life examples into sessions for direct problem solving.
