Tasheena Donell

Tasheena Donell is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) who supports people working through stress, anxiety, addictions, anger, relationship struggles, and low self-esteem. She practices from West Virginia and aims to make sessions straightforward and practical. Her background includes helping clients handle life changes, career strain, parenting challenges, and compassion fatigue.

She holds a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from the University of Charleston and a Master of Science in Professional Counseling from Grand Canyon University. Over five years she has worked in court and corrections settings, offering individual and group sessions focused on substance use, emotion regulation, and behavior concerns. That experience informs how she talks about boundaries, communication, and safety.

Tasheena uses an eclectic approach with an emphasis on solution-focused work, cognitive behavioral techniques, and motivational interviewing. In sessions she helps clients set concrete goals, notice unhelpful thinking, and try small experiments to change behavior. She also centers respect and rapport so people can speak honestly without judgment.

When addiction or compulsive behaviors are involved, she draws on practical steps used in counseling for substance use and process addictions. For relationship or family stress, she helps individuals name what they want and practice clearer communication. Her style is direct but compassionate, aiming for useful changes you can measure.

People considering therapy are encouraged to start with a brief intake and matching process. Tasheena works with a range of concerns including depression, guilt and shame, impulsivity, and isolation, and supports clients in building skills to manage daily life.

How her approaches guide online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the client's experience. The therapist follows the client's lead, reflects concerns, and supports the person's own goals; this helps when someone needs acceptance and clarity about their next steps.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts influence feelings and actions. Tasheena uses CBT techniques to help people spot unhelpful thinking, test different beliefs, and try small behavioral changes that reduce anxiety, anger, or depressive symptoms.

Motivational Interviewing helps when someone feels stuck or uncertain about change. This approach uses questions and reflection to draw out personal reasons for change and build motivation for steps like reducing substance use or improving relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Tasheena will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and then try methods that fit. That collaborative process means plans can change as progress is made.

Practical benefits of online therapy include easier scheduling and fitting sessions into a busy day. Online work can reduce travel time and make follow-up check-ins more convenient.
