About Donna Cummings

Donna Cummings is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) with 20 years of experience in the mental health field. She supports adults navigating concerns such as anxiety, depression, addiction-related challenges, and major life transitions, with an emphasis on strengthening self-esteem, self-compassion, and practical life skills that can support day-to-day well-being.

Her work is grounded in evidence-informed approaches, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). In sessions, Donna helps clients identify what matters most to them, build healthier patterns of thinking and behavior, and develop coping strategies that align with their values and goals. She brings a supportive, compassionate style and incorporates cultural awareness and respect for diversity as part of thoughtful, individualized care.

Donna entered the mental health profession after recognizing a shortage of services in her community and a broader need to normalize counseling and reduce stigma. She also offers life coaching for individuals who may not be seeking therapy, but want structured support with life skills, personal growth topics, or simply a consistent space to talk and work toward meaningful goals.

Practical Online Therapy With ACT and CBT Tools

Donna Cummings integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients build workable coping strategies and strengthen day-to-day resilience. ACT focuses on clarifying values and learning how to make room for difficult thoughts and feelings while still moving toward what matters. It is often helpful when stress, anxiety, low mood, or life changes make it hard to stay grounded and motivated.

CBT is a structured approach that looks at how thoughts, emotions, and behaviors interact. By identifying unhelpful patterns and practicing new skills, clients can develop more balanced ways of responding to challenges such as depression, worry, and habit change, including addiction-related concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Donna works collaboratively with clients to understand goals, preferences, and what has or has not helped in the past, then tailors sessions to match the pace and focus that feels most useful.

Online therapy makes it easier to access support from home or while traveling. Clients can choose video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for busy schedules, parenting demands, or times when in-person appointments feel out of reach.
