About Donna
Donna Rippelmeyer is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Nevada with 35 years of professional experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, LGBT concerns, and trauma and abuse. She also has a clinical focus on sexual issues.
Donna uses straightforward talk and practical steps in sessions. She listens to what is happening now and helps people name what they are feeling. Sessions cover day-to-day challenges like overwhelming worry, intrusive thoughts, relationship strain related to sexuality, and responses after abuse.
She works from approaches that center the client's perspective and use cognitive behavioral techniques. That means sessions often involve reflecting on how thoughts affect feelings and trying small changes in thinking or behavior to see if things improve. Work is paced to what each person can handle.
Donna has decades of experience across many clinical situations. She brings that long background to routine concerns like mood shifts and panic, and to complex issues such as sexual functioning, compulsive behaviors, and gender dysphoria. Discussions may include practical coping skills, planning for difficult situations, and problem-solving next steps.
Sessions are conversational and goal-focused. People leave with concrete ideas to practice between meetings. To begin, follow the site's steps to view online therapy options and schedule a first session.
BHow sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Donna uses client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy in ways that fit remote conversations. Client-centered therapy means the conversation focuses on the person's experience, with the therapist reflecting and clarifying what matters most. That method helps when someone needs to talk through identity, sexuality, or reactions to past events.Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. Online sessions can introduce short exercises, thought records, and behavior experiments to practice between visits. This approach is useful for anxiety, panic, obsessive thoughts, and mood concerns.
Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. Donna will work with each person to pick methods that match their needs, goals, and comfort with the tools. She adapts pacing and tasks so clients can try changes step by step.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it simpler to fit sessions around work, family, or medical appointments. It also allows for shorter check-ins or longer conversations depending on what is needed, and it removes travel time so people can focus on practical skills and follow-through.
