About Donna
Donna Maso is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with over 31 years of counseling experience. She helps people facing relationship strain, trauma and abuse, grief, parenting challenges, and problems with anger.

Donna meets people where they are and focuses on practical steps they can take. She uses straightforward conversation to identify immediate concerns and small changes that make life easier. Sessions are grounded in respect and a calm, nonjudgmental tone.
Her background includes outpatient, inpatient, transitional, and crisis services. Donna has worked across many settings such as schools, correctional facilities, hospice care, and community agencies. That range has shaped a flexible approach to varied life problems and stressful transitions.
Donna draws on several therapeutic methods to match each person’s needs. She uses client-centered work to build trust, cognitive behavioral tools to address unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and solution-focused strategies to set achievable goals. Mindfulness and dialectical behavior ideas are also part of her toolbox when emotion regulation or stress management is needed.
People who work with Donna can expect practical planning, direct problem-solving, and attention to strengths. She encourages clients to try small changes and track what helps. The aim is clearer choices and better daily functioning rather than quick fixes.
How Donna's Approaches Translate to Online Work
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and responding to each person's concerns. It emphasizes respect, empathy, and tailoring sessions to what the person says matters most, which can make remote conversations feel focused and practical.Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thoughts and behaviors and tests small changes to reduce distress. It is useful for anger, anxiety, and problems that respond well to step-by-step practice and homework between sessions.
Dialectical behavior therapy, or DBT, offers skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication. These skills work well when strong emotions or impulsivity make daily life harder.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods fit best given the person's goals and preferences. Early sessions often include checking what works and adjusting techniques over time.
The biography does not specify which online session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It can also support continued therapy during life transitions while keeping a consistent connection with a licensed professional.
