About Donna

Donna Riveron is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania who helps people facing anger, addictions, depression, and life transitions. She works with clients on grief, self-esteem, career struggles, and motivation. Donna speaks English and accepts international clients. She encourages taking the first step and acknowledges that reaching out takes courage.

Donna brings six years of direct clinical work plus seven years as a clinical supervisor. She focuses on practical conversation and individualized plans. Sessions are tailored to each person’s goals and daily life. She aims to respond with respect, sensitivity, and compassion.

In sessions Donna uses straightforward talk to sort out what’s most pressing. She helps clients set concrete steps they can try between appointments. Topics often include managing anger, coping with loss, improving sleep, and handling workplace stress. She also addresses ADHD, bipolar mood concerns, and trauma-related reactions.

Donna also supports people dealing with relationship and communication problems, divorce and separation concerns, and financial stress. She has experience with first responder issues, hospice and end-of-life counseling, and isolation or loneliness. Her approach is pragmatic - she listens, prioritizes goals, and adjusts strategies as needed.

Clients can expect a collaborative process where progress is measured by real changes in daily routines and coping. Donna will help create a plan that fits each person’s schedule and needs. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to availability.

Approaches that guide online work and progress

Donna uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques focused on clear goals and practical change. One common approach emphasizes structured conversation and problem-solving to break large issues into small steps; this helps with anger, workplace stress, and daily routines. Another approach centers on grief and loss support, which involves naming feelings, creating manageable coping plans, and finding ways to remember while moving forward.

Choosing the best approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk through goals, try methods that fit the person’s needs, and adjust the plan over time. Clients collaborate on what to prioritize and what strategies feel most useful for their life and schedule.

Because the biography does not list session formats, confirm current online options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow check-ins when people need short focused sessions. It also lets people meet with licensed professionals from other locations when international work is helpful. Discuss format preferences during the initial scheduling step to choose the most practical arrangement for ongoing work.
