About Donna
Donna Marchant-Roof is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Virginia with 30 years of practice. She works with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, life changes, relationship concerns, parenting questions, career stress, and compassion fatigue. Sessions are offered in English and she accepts international clients.
Donna trained in psychology and social work and has experience across age groups. Early in her career she worked with children and teens as well as adults on anxiety, depression, trauma, and life transitions. More recently she has focused on older adults, helping with lifestyle adjustments tied to medical changes, bereavement, and end-of-life concerns.
She also brings experience coaching health-care professionals and executives moving into leadership roles. That practical coaching background informs how she talks about workplace issues, career shifts, and role stress. Donna names cancer caregiving, disaster-related stress, veteran and armed forces issues, and sexual assault among areas she addresses.
Donna uses Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, and Mindfulness Therapy. In sessions she looks for small, workable steps, tracks what is already working, and sets realistic goals. Conversations tend to be straightforward and focused on skills people can use between sessions.
Her work often combines short-term problem solving with longer-term coping skills. She encourages celebrating progress and adjusting plans as needed. To begin, prospective clients complete a short questionnaire and schedule a first meeting to map out priorities and next steps.
BHow sessions work
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so clients can set the pace. Online sessions using this approach tend to begin with what matters most to the person and build goals from there. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and offers practical exercises to change patterns. Online CBT sessions often include homework or short skills practice between meetings to reinforce what was discussed.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Donna will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and preferences. That might mean trying a few techniques and adjusting based on how useful they feel. The decision is shared and revisited as goals evolve.
The practical upside of online work is fitting sessions into a busy life. Because session formats are not specified here, confirm current options before booking. Many people find virtual sessions easier to schedule around work, caregiving, or medical appointments, and certain techniques such as brief coaching check-ins or CBT exercises adapt well to shorter or telephone-based meetings. Discuss format and timing when booking so sessions match daily routines and goals.
