About Donna
Dr. Donna Cunningham is a licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) in Ohio who helps people manage anxiety, stress, depression, grief, parenting challenges, and major life changes. She presents a calm, practical way of working so clients can find clearer next steps and feel steadier day to day.
Donna focuses on simple, evidence-based tools that people can use between sessions. She listens first, then helps create doable strategies for managing strong emotions and everyday parenting pressures. Sessions aim to make problems easier to talk about and to reduce overwhelm over time.
With 17 years of experience, she draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, using practical exercises and thought-work to shift unhelpful patterns. She tailors techniques to each person’s life and pace rather than applying one fixed plan.
Her style is collaborative and straightforward. People leave sessions with concrete ideas to try, such as short coping exercises, small behavior changes, and ways to reframe stressful thoughts. The focus is on skills that fit real life routines.
Donna emphasizes respect for each person’s background and strengths. She guides people through grief, parenting strain, and transitions with steady support and clear steps. If you want help working through these issues, she asks curious questions and helps you build a plan you can use between meetings.
How CBT-based approaches translate to online care
Dr. Cunningham uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thought patterns and try different behaviors. CBT breaks problems into small parts so clients can test new ways of thinking and acting, which helps with anxiety, depression, and stress.Her work emphasizes practical exercises and short skill-building tasks that fit into daily life. In sessions she reviews what was tried, troubleshoots barriers, and adjusts strategies together. This makes choosing an approach a shared process based on your needs and goals.
If you are interested in online work, confirm the specific session options before booking since session formats were not listed in the biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy day, allow brief check-ins when schedules are tight, and reduce travel time so people can focus on applying skills between meetings. Licensed professionals can use these same CBT tools in remote sessions, and she will collaborate with you to find the best way to use them given your routine and preferences.
