About Donna
Donna Camerota is a Connecticut licensed clinical social worker with 24 years of experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, mood concerns, and sleep problems. Donna takes a calm, direct approach and aims to make sessions easy to follow for busy lives.
Her work often centers on relationship concerns, grief, self-esteem, and coping with life changes. She supports people facing addiction, compassion fatigue, chronic health challenges, and the effects of trauma and abuse. Donna also addresses issues around body image, attachment, and transitions that come with aging and caregiving.
Donna uses practical strategies to improve communication, reduce overwhelm, and build healthier daily routines. She helps clients notice patterns, try small changes, and track what works. Sessions are collaborative and paced to match what each person can manage between meetings.
Clients commonly bring worries about work, career decisions, or ongoing mood symptoms such as bipolar disorder and depression. Donna also supports LGBT concerns, blended-family stress, and people coping after natural or human-caused disasters. Sleep and rest difficulties are part of the concerns she addresses in the work.
Her style balances empathy with clear, usable tools. She focuses on problem-solving in the moment and on longer-term skills for resilience. People who want straightforward guidance and a steady supportive presence may find this approach helpful.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what each person says matters most. It helps people feel heard and shapes goals around their priorities rather than a fixed agenda.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and offers practical exercises to change patterns that keep problems going. It is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep disruption, and coping with stress.
Dialetical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches concrete skills for managing intense emotions, improving relationships, and tolerating distress without making situations worse. It can be useful for people who need structure for emotion regulation and interpersonal effectiveness.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the initial work. The therapist will collaborate with clients to choose what fits their goals and daily life, and will adjust the plan as progress unfolds.
Confirm the available session options before booking because formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work, caregiving, or medical appointments and can reduce time spent traveling. It also allows for shorter check-ins when a quick plan adjustment is needed and can help people maintain continuity of care during life transitions.
