About Donna
Donna Camerota is a Connecticut-based licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with 24 years of experience. She focuses on common life stresses such as anxiety, grief, relationship struggles, and coping with major changes. Donna also works with people facing mood disorders, chronic health concerns, body image issues, and the effects of trauma and abuse.
Her style is straightforward and client-centered. Sessions focus on practical skills and clear goals. She listens for what matters most and helps people find steps they can use between meetings.
Donna draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and try different ways of responding. She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for emotion regulation and Client-Centered Therapy to keep the work focused on the person’s priorities. Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused techniques are used when people want short-term change or help clarifying next steps.
Typical sessions include talking through current problems, learning coping skills, and practicing new ways of managing stress and relationships. Donna supports people working through caregiver strain, aging and geriatric concerns, blended family challenges, and addiction-related issues among other areas.
Her approach aims to be practical and steady. She helps people improve communication, reduce overwhelming reactions, and build routines that support better sleep and mood.

How Donna’s approaches translate to online work
Donna commonly uses Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills in her work. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the person’s priorities so the work stays relevant to everyday concerns. CBT looks at thoughts and behaviors, helping people try small experiments to test different ways of thinking and acting. DBT supplies concrete skills for managing intense emotions, improving distress tolerance, and handling conflicts more effectively.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Donna will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then suggest approaches to try. Together they monitor what helps and adjust the plan as needed so the work stays practical and focused.
The practical upside of online therapy is fitting sessions into a busy life. It can make scheduling easier and reduce travel time, which helps keep steady contact during stressful periods.
