About Donna
Donna Rudd is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in South Carolina with over 30 years of experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, panic attacks, and the day-to-day strains of parenting. Her manner is respectful and compassionate, and she guides each person at their own pace.
Before moving into counseling, she worked in schools from kindergarten through 12th grade. Roles included classroom teacher, special education resource teacher, and guidance counselor. That background shaped her practical approach to problems and her understanding of learning and attention differences.
In sessions she focuses on what you need right now. Conversations are driven by your goals and your pace. She uses clear, evidence-based strategies and checks in often to see what is and isn’t helping.
She draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to notice and change unhelpful thinking and behaviors. Mindfulness strategies are used to build calm and present-moment awareness. Client-centered principles keep the work grounded in your values and choices.
Donna also uses motivational interviewing when people feel stuck or unsure how to start. She aims to help people find workable steps toward better daily routines and clearer purpose. If you want straightforward, steady support for panic, anxiety, or life transitions, she offers practical guidance based on decades of experience.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and collaboration. The therapist follows the client’s lead, reflects what they say, and helps clarify goals and values. This approach helps people feel heard and choose the changes that matter most to them.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people notice patterns of thought and behavior that feed anxiety and panic. Sessions use practical exercises and small behavior changes to reduce symptoms and build confidence. CBT is useful for stress, panic attacks, and low mood.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, try methods that fit, and adjust based on what helps. That collaborative process means techniques may shift as progress is made.
Confirm current session options before booking, since the biography does not list specific online formats. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also gives flexibility for people who prefer not to be on camera or who need quieter surroundings. Discuss format preferences during the first scheduling steps to choose what will work best for your routine and goals.
