About

Donna Wilbur brings more than 25 years of experience and training in psychiatric rehabilitation sciences to her clinical work, approaching therapy from a recovery model that emphasizes growth and possibility. She practices from a strengths-based perspective, focusing less on labels and more on each person’s abilities, the obstacles they face, and the resources they already possess to move forward. Donna works to build a trusting, non-judgmental relationship in which clients can explore challenges related to mood disorders, trauma and loss, attachment and abandonment concerns, and life areas such as work and relationships.

Her clinical toolset includes cognitive behavioral therapy, relapse prevention strategies, and motivational enhancement therapy, applied in ways that help people set goals, manage symptoms, and strengthen coping skills. Donna believes that people are the experts in their own recovery and sees her role as helping to bring that expertise to the forefront of treatment. She emphasizes collaboration, practical skill-building, and steady support so clients can pursue meaningful change and improved well-being. Donna holds the LICSW credential, which means she is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker.

Evidence-Based Techniques and Accessible Online Care

Donna Wilbur uses evidence-based methods that are practical and goal-oriented. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps people identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, making it useful for depression, anxiety, and mood regulation. Motivational enhancement therapy focuses on increasing motivation and commitment to change through collaborative conversations, which can support recovery from substance-related challenges and help with building healthier habits. Relapse prevention offers structured strategies to anticipate and manage setbacks, teaching skills to reduce risk and maintain progress.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Donna works collaboratively with each person to determine which techniques best match their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting methods over time as progress is made and priorities evolve.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging - so care can fit into varied schedules and life circumstances.
