About Donna
Donna Camerota is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) practicing in Connecticut with 24 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, grief, relationship strains, mood disorders, and life transitions. Donna also focuses on body image, caregiver stress, chronic health challenges, and addiction-related concerns.
Clients can expect straightforward, practical work in sessions. Donna uses clear, evidence-informed methods to help people manage emotions and daily pressures. Conversations often include skills for coping, strategies to change unhelpful thoughts, and ways to improve communication.
Her background includes long-term clinical practice with adults who need help after loss, during health-related changes, or while addressing persistent low mood and bipolar concerns. Donna draws on client-centered approaches to make sessions about each person's immediate needs and goals.
In practice she adds techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy when they fit the issue. Motivational interviewing and solution-focused strategies are used for behavior change and short-term problem solving. This mix supports both symptom reduction and practical life adjustments.
Donna aims to help people build clearer thinking patterns, better emotional regulation, and more effective relationships. She encourages realistic steps you can try between sessions. To begin, follow the site matching process and schedule a first meeting to discuss goals and next steps.
BHow sessions work
How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions
Donna uses client-centered therapy to keep conversations focused on each person's immediate concerns and priorities. This approach emphasizes listening and adapting sessions to what matters most in a client's day-to-day life.She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy to identify and shift unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors, which can help with anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and mood management. Dialectical behavior therapy techniques are added when emotion regulation, distress tolerance, or interpersonal effectiveness skills are needed.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Donna will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and goals. Sessions begin with a discussion of what you want to accomplish and a plan that can change as progress is made.
The therapist's biography does not list specific session formats here, so confirm current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, and treatment schedules. Some formats take less time and bandwidth, others let you use video for a deeper conversational feel, and certain setups are better when a shorter check-in is needed. Discussing practical scheduling needs is part of the first meeting.
