Donnise Powell is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), a mental health professional with clinical training and licensure, who is passionate about supporting youth and young adults as they navigate life’s challenges and move toward healing, growth, and stronger emotional well-being. She approaches therapy as a collaborative process where clients are supported in discovering their own strength, resilience, and direction rather than having someone solve problems for them.
Her style is warm, authentic, and relational, with an emphasis on creating a welcoming, genuine space that does not feel overly formal. Donnise aims for sessions to feel like a meaningful conversation grounded in care, connection, and real-life understanding. She integrates clinical knowledge with evidence-based therapeutic techniques and values the role of lived experience in the healing process.
When it fits a client’s preferences, Donnise is open to incorporating spirituality and Christian values into therapy, while also respecting each person’s unique beliefs and background. She also welcomes humor and moments of joy as part of the work, recognizing that life can feel heavy and that lightness can help clients reconnect and move forward. She offers a supportive, nonjudgmental space for those dealing with anxiety, depression, life transitions, relationship concerns, self-esteem, trauma, or feeling overwhelmed, and she partners with clients to explore challenges, build on strengths, and work toward the life they want to create.
Donnise Powell uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques and brings them into a warm, relational style that can translate well to online care.
For example, skills-based, evidence-informed methods can help clients notice patterns that fuel stress and anxiety and practice more helpful ways of responding in everyday situations. A strengths-focused approach can support youth and young adults in identifying resilience, clarifying values, and building momentum through life transitions, grief, and changing family dynamics. Donnise also offers space for clients who want spirituality and Christian values included, using that perspective in a way that aligns with the client’s goals and preferences.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Donnise works collaboratively with clients to understand what they are facing, what they want to change, and what kind of support feels most useful, then adjusts the work together over time.
Online therapy can make getting support more accessible and easier to fit into a busy life. Clients can connect with a therapist through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different comfort levels, schedules, and communication styles.
