Donna Robberecht, LCSW

Donna Robberecht is a licensed clinical social worker with a long history helping people navigate major life challenges. She brings calm, practical care to conversations about trauma, depression, anxiety, grief, and life changes.

She focuses on creating an open space where thoughts and feelings can be shared without judgment. Sessions are meant to be straightforward and steady, so clients can talk through worries and make workable changes over time.

Donna uses approaches that help people understand patterns and change them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. Psychodynamic Therapy looks at earlier experiences that shape current feelings and relationships.

Across a long career in California she has supported people dealing with relationship stress, parenting strain, caregiving burdens, and midlife transitions. She also works with concerns around self-esteem, career decisions, and isolation or loneliness, and has experience with aging and geriatric issues.

Her style is patient and steady, with attention to both current problems and the history that influences them. People who choose her often want practical ideas plus time to reflect on deeper patterns.

How CBT and Psychodynamic Work in Online Therapy

Donna uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors that reduce distress. CBT sessions often focus on specific problems like anxiety, depression, or stress and include practical exercises to use between meetings.

She also draws on Psychodynamic Therapy to look at how past relationships and early experiences shape current feelings and patterns. That work is useful when someone wants to understand recurring relationship issues, attachment concerns, or long-standing mood problems.

Choosing a therapeutic approach is a collaborative process. Donna will discuss goals and preferences and help decide whether CBT, psychodynamic work, or a mix of both fits best. She tailors the plan as conversations and progress unfold.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow check-ins from a familiar setting. Some formats are better for brief check-ins while others suit deeper exploration, so check the available options and pick what works with your schedule and needs.
