Donna Marchant-Roof, LCSW

Donna Marchant-Roof is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Virginia with 30 years of experience. Originally from New York, she relocated to Virginia 28 years ago and has been licensed since 1995. She earned a Bachelor of Science in Psychology from Mercy College in New York and a Master of Social Work (MSW), a graduate degree in clinical social work, from Norfolk State University in Virginia.

Across her career, Donna has supported children, teens, and adults with concerns such as anxiety, depression, trauma, and major life changes. In more recent years, her work has emphasized the needs of older adults, including lifestyle adjustments connected to changing medical conditions, life transitions, and the challenges of grief and loss. She has also spent significant time coaching executives and professionals stepping into leadership roles within healthcare settings.

Donna draws from evidence-based approaches that include solution-focused methods, person-centered therapy, and mindfulness techniques. Her style is holistic, aiming to consider the whole person rather than focusing on a single issue in isolation. She prioritizes recognizing progress, building on what is already working, and creating realistic goals that support meaningful change. Sessions begin with where the client is right now, then develop a shared path forward using practical, research-informed tools to help support goal achievement.
