Donna Robberecht

Donna Robberecht is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with four decades of experience helping people navigate hard life moments. She aims to make the first step feel manageable and meets people where they are. Donna creates space for honest talk and steady support without judgment.

Her approach combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on changing unhelpful thoughts and actions, with Psychodynamic Therapy, which looks at how past experiences affect current feelings. She uses these methods to address trauma, depression, anxiety, stress, grief, and challenges around self-esteem and life transitions.

Donna has worked in California for many years and brings long-term clinical experience to each session. She often helps people deal with caregiver stress, attachment concerns, codependency, and issues related to aging and midlife change. Narcissism and post-traumatic stress are also listed among her areas of focus.

Sessions emphasize clear conversation about goals and practical steps to make daily life easier. She listens for patterns that contribute to persistent problems and helps people try different ways of responding. The work is collaborative and paced to the individual’s needs.

When someone is ready to begin, Donna asks them to complete a short intake so she can match the work to their goals. Scheduling follows from that conversation, and she supports people as they take each next step.

How CBT and Psychodynamic Work Online

Donna uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change thoughts and behaviors that make life harder. CBT is practical and problem-focused, and it can help with anxiety, depression, and stress by teaching tools to break unhelpful cycles.

She also uses Psychodynamic Therapy to look at how past relationships and experiences shape current feelings and reactions. This approach can help when patterns repeat or when deep-seated emotions need to be understood and named.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Donna will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then try methods that fit those needs. She adjusts the focus over time so the work stays relevant and useful.

Please confirm current session options before booking, as specific online formats are not listed in the therapist biography. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time, allow brief check-ins when needed, and offer continuity when schedules change. Licensed professionals can use these advantages to help clients maintain progress and practice new skills between meetings.
