Donna Avant

Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships

About

As a therapist, it is a privilege to be able to create a safe space for my clients—a space that gives you an opportunity to improve self-confidence, cope with anxiety, work through relationship issues or trauma, or gain control of thoughts and emotions while building strength, awareness, and resilience.

I would be humbled and honored to help you with your life story. Our past, our present, and expectations of our future impact how we navigate life’s inevitable challenges. Because our lives are a constant state of transition, we have the opportunity to learn from the past and navigate our present through awareness and understanding of ourselves, and others. I feel it a great honor to support you in life’s transitions and encourage your awareness and growth.

My job is to help you explore thoughts and feelings and find direction for happier and healthier living. I believe in a solution focused approach that includes tackling dysfunctional thinking, teaching healthy coping skills, addressing sources of distress, drawing from faith and values, understanding each unique situation, and identifying possible solutions.

I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) with 32 years experience in the mental health field assisting clients through grief and loss, abrupt or long-term life challenges, stress and anxiety, trauma, and depression.

I invite you to schedule a session with me and I look forward to working with you.

Is Online Therapy the Right Step Toward Better Mental Health?

Many people wonder whether remote therapy can truly help. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or navigating life changes, online therapy has been shown to be as effective as traditional in-person sessions. One of the clearest advantages is flexibility – clients can connect in the format that works best for them, whether that is a video visit, a phone session, a live chat, or ongoing messaging. This adaptability can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to stay consistent with care. Licensed professionals provide online therapy, and clients have the option to switch therapists if they prefer a different match. For many common mental health and life challenges, virtual sessions offer a practical, accessible way to get the support people need.
