About Donna
Donna Riveron is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania with six years of direct clinical work and seven additional years as a clinical supervisor. She works with people who are coping with addictions, grief and loss, low self-esteem, career stress, anger, bipolar disorder, depression, ADHD, and other life changes.
She focuses on practical conversations about what is causing distress and what can change day to day. Sessions are straightforward and aimed at building skills for handling strong feelings, improving communication, and managing motivation or sleep problems. Donna adjusts the pace and topics to fit what each person brings to the session.
Her background includes supervising clinicians, which she draws on when helping people understand treatment options and next steps. She describes clinical work as respectful and sensitive, and she structures sessions so people leave with something concrete to try between meetings.
Donna helps people address relationship strain, workplace issues, and financial stress that affect mood and behavior. She also supports those facing grief, end-of-life caregiving concerns, and the stress of first responder work. She accepts international clients and conducts sessions in English.
To start, a person completes a short matching questionnaire and schedules a first session. Costs vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. Donna asks clients to be ready to talk about what they want to change and what has worked before.
Approaches for strong feelings and everyday problems
Donna describes using evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on skills people can use right away. One approach emphasizes learning strategies to manage intense emotions and reduce impulsive reactions, which can help with anger and mood swings. Another approach works on problem-solving and behavioral changes to address addictions, sleep difficulties, motivation, and workplace stress.Finding the best approach is collaborative. The therapist will review current concerns, goals, and what has helped or not helped in the past. Together they choose which techniques to try and adjust the plan based on how the client responds over time.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a weekday break or a quieter hour at home, and shorter check-ins by phone can help when bandwidth or camera time is limited. Many people appreciate being able to meet with a licensed professional without traveling, which can simplify scheduling around work or caregiving duties.
