Donna Tiemeyer , LPC

Donna Tiemeyer is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with more than 25 years of experience supporting adults through depression, grief and loss, trauma, anxiety, cultural transition, empty nest adjustments, marital conflict, and challenges in blended families. She brings a depth of experience working with post-traumatic stress disorder and substance use disorders in treatment facility settings, offering practical, experience-informed care.

Her approach is warm and accepting, rooted in a client-centered philosophy that prioritizes each person’s unique personality and emotional needs. She listens closely to tailor treatment plans and counseling goals so they align with individual strengths and life circumstances. When appropriate, she blends several therapeutic methods, including cognitive-behavioral techniques, rational-emotive interventions, structured family therapy, mindfulness practices, prolonged exposure, and narrative therapy to address the patterns and problems presented.

Donna recognizes the courage it takes to seek help and aims to make the process as approachable and non-threatening as possible. With tele-mental health options available, she provides access to emotional support from home and partners with clients to help them find hope and navigate life’s transitions. She looks forward to coming alongside individuals to work toward meaningful change.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Donna Tiemeyer integrates client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) when working with clients online. Client-centered therapy focuses on creating a supportive, empathetic environment in which the therapist follows the client’s lead to explore feelings and personal goals - it is helpful for building self-awareness, confidence, and motivation to change. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at the connections between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and uses practical strategies to address anxiety, depression, and patterns that interfere with daily functioning.

She also incorporates mindfulness practices to help people develop present-moment awareness and stress management skills, which can reduce reactivity and improve emotional regulation. Choosing the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process - the therapist and client work together to identify goals, try different techniques, and adjust the plan based on what best meets the client’s needs and preferences.

Online therapy offerings include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, providing flexibility to fit therapy into busy lives. These options make it easier to connect with licensed professionals from home, during work breaks, or while traveling, helping maintain consistent progress and access to support across changing schedules.
