Donna Tiemeyer , LPC

Donna Tiemeyer brings more than 25 years of counseling experience to her work as an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor). She provides care for individuals facing depression, grief and loss, trauma, empty nest transitions, anxiety, cultural adjustment, marital conflict, and challenges within blended families. She also has extensive experience assessing and treating PTSD and substance use disorders in treatment facility settings.

Her approach is warm and accepting, rooted in client-centered principles that prioritize each person’s individual personality and emotional needs. She listens closely to shape individualized treatment plans and clear counseling goals tailored to the concerns a person brings to therapy. When appropriate she blends several evidence-informed methods, drawing from cognitive-behavioral techniques, rational-emotive strategies, structured family therapy, mindfulness practices, prolonged exposure, and narrative therapies to address specific issues.

Recognizing how difficult it can be to ask for help, she works to make the process feel as approachable and non-threatening as possible. With tele-mental health options available, she offers ways to receive emotional support from home. She looks forward to coming alongside people to help them find hope and navigate life’s challenges.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Donna Tiemeyer uses client-centered therapy to create a supportive environment where the person’s own goals and values guide the work; this approach helps people who need space to explore feelings, build self-understanding, and set personalized goals. She also employs cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), which focuses on identifying patterns of thinking and behavior that contribute to distress and teaching practical strategies to manage symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress. Mindfulness therapy is another tool she integrates, offering simple attention and grounding practices that can reduce reactivity and support emotional regulation in day-to-day life.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and she collaborates with each person to determine what methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they evaluate what feels most useful and adjust the plan over time so the work remains relevant and effective.

Online therapy options such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging make it easier to fit counseling into a busy life and to maintain continuity of care across changes in schedule or location. These formats support flexibility and accessibility while allowing licensed professionals to deliver effective, ongoing therapeutic support.
