About Donna Johnson
Donna has a special focus on working with LGBTQ+ individuals and older adults, and she attends carefully to cultural differences with humility and respect. Her therapeutic work centers on helping people cultivate self-care, self-love and a clearer sense of life purpose, while supporting healing from past trauma and the development of resilience.
In therapy she explores practical and holistic ways to engage systems that influence mood - including attention to Dopamine, Serotonin, Oxytocin and Endorphins - and she encourages activities that strengthen emotional regulation and well-being. Humor is also an intentional tool in her practice, used to reframe negative thinking, alleviate tension and build coping skills.
Donna draws on collaborative, individualized counseling to help people move from isolation and impulsivity toward greater emotional skillfulness and meaningful personal discovery. As an experienced LCSW - a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who has completed advanced social work training and licensure - she is dedicated to walking alongside people as they transform difficult experiences into opportunities for growth.
