Donna Marchington , LCPC

Donna Marchington is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) practicing in Montana with 24 years of professional experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress and anxiety, navigate relationship difficulties, process trauma and abuse, and cope with grief and loss. Her work also addresses depression and a range of related concerns such as abandonment issues, codependency, family and blended family challenges, and communication difficulties.

Donna approaches therapy with an emphasis on creating an open, nonjudgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be expressed honestly. She supports clients in identifying patterns that contribute to distress and in developing practical strategies to foster healthier thinking and behavior. That practical orientation reflects her use of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, a skills-based method that helps people change unhelpful thoughts and habits.

Recognizing that seeking help takes courage, Donna partners with each person to set realistic goals and move toward a more fulfilling life. She aims to make the therapeutic process collaborative and compassionate, offering steady support as clients work through painful experiences and build resilience for the future.

Combining Cognitive Behavioral Tools with Accessible Online Care

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a central part of Donna Marchington’s work. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and it is often used to address stress, anxiety, depression, and patterns that affect relationships. The approach emphasizes practical skills and goal-oriented exercises so clients can see measurable progress over time.

Alongside CBT, Donna emphasizes collaborative, client-centered planning. She works with clients to tailor strategies to their needs and life circumstances, helping them set realistic goals and choose techniques that fit their values and daily routines.

Online therapy with Donna includes video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain consistent care without long commutes and allow clients to access licensed professionals from familiar settings. Throughout the process Donna partners with each person to find the approach that best supports their goals and preferences.
