About Donna

Donna Naffah is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Virginia with 17 years of professional experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, parenting concerns, anger, and depression. She uses evidence-informed methods to meet each client where they are and tailors care to individual needs, often drawing on client-centered, cognitive behavioral, and emotionally focused approaches. Her practice also addresses a wide range of related concerns, including abandonment, body image, caregiver stress, chronic illness and disability, co-morbidity, codependency, communication and control issues, dependent personality patterns, divorce and separation, domestic violence, substance-related concerns, family problems, forgiveness, guilt, and shame.

Donna aims to create an open, nonjudgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be explored candidly and practical goals can be set. She partners with clients to identify small, achievable steps toward change and to build skills for managing difficult emotions and interpersonal conflicts. Donna recognizes that beginning therapy often requires courage and she honors the decision to seek help. She is not accepting new clients at this time.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Sessions

Donna Naffah integrates client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to support clients in making practical changes. Client-centered therapy focuses on creating an accepting, empathetic environment where clients can explore feelings and values while shaping their own goals. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and develop skills to manage anxiety, stress, and mood-related concerns. She also uses elements of emotionally focused therapy to help partners and individuals understand underlying feelings and improve communication in relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Donna works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they evaluate progress and adjust strategies as needed, keeping the client's priorities central to care.

Online therapy with Donna can be delivered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing flexibility around work, family, and health demands. These options make it easier to access licensed professionals from home or elsewhere, support continuity of care, and allow sessions to fit into varied schedules while preserving the therapeutic relationship between therapist and client.
