About Donna
Donna Baynes is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Georgia with 10 years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, parenting challenges, anger, grief, and life changes. She also addresses career concerns, ADHD, bipolar mood concerns, and compassion fatigue.
Her approach is straightforward and practical. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. Motivational Interviewing is used to explore readiness for change and to build momentum toward goals. Solution-Focused Therapy helps people identify small, concrete steps that make a difference quickly.
Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented. The therapist listens for what is getting in the way and then suggests small experiments or changes to try between meetings. Goal setting and checking progress are built into the work so people can see what helps.
Donna has experience working with parents and with adults connected to educational settings, including parents of students with special needs. She also has experience addressing domestic violence, caregiver stress, blended family issues, and family-of-origin concerns.
People looking for practical tools and clear steps to manage anger, communication problems, or parenting stress may find this approach useful. The focus is on workable strategies that fit everyday life and on building skills people can use after sessions end.
How her approaches translate to online work
Donna uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thought patterns and try new responses. CBT often involves short exercises and behavior experiments that can be tracked between sessions to reduce anger and anxiety. Motivational Interviewing focuses on exploring what matters to the person and building the motivation to change one step at a time. It is useful when someone feels stuck or unsure about next steps.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose methods that match their goals and preferences. Together they check what helps and adjust the plan as needed so sessions remain practical and focused on clear goals.
Session formats are not detailed in the biography, so confirm the available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week, allow short check-ins when schedules are tight, and remove travel time. These practical benefits help people keep momentum with skill practice and gradual changes without promising a specific service.
