More about Donna

  • 30 years' experience
  • Female
  • LPC

I am a licensed professional counselor with 30+ years of experience plus specialized training in addictions, employee assistance services, trauma and career/life coaching. My focus is working with adults on a variety of issues which include depression, anxiety, panic disorders, life changes, relationship issues, addiction, trauma, military family culture, and employment/job stressors.

What I try to provide is a safe, calm space to talk about personal issues and feelings while being heard by another person. Life can be so fast paced and rushed at times that a counseling hour provides a brief time out from life offering an individual the opportunity to reflect on what is happening in their life and receive feedback/coaching on how to improve any areas causing pain or discomfort.

To me, therapy is a unique partnership between two persons which can work well in helping people cope with life successfully. I look forward to the opportunity to meet you and help you create the life you want to live.

About online counseling

Affordable.
Pay a low flat fee.
Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Donna Plummer is a great therapist! She really helps me work through any anxieties that I have

Reviewed December 2021

Donna has been one of the best therapists that I could have ever hoped for. She is so attentive, she knows exactly how to word things to help everything make more sense in my brain, and she is consistently positive no matter how difficult the issues are for me. She also is very open and engaging when I request certain forms of therapy, regardless of our sessions being virtual or not, she always puts all of her energy into helping me towards overcoming my traumas. I am so grateful to her for everything she continues to do to help me through.

Donna is very helpful and I always feel better once I talk to her!

Reviewed August 2021

I am working now with Donna for a couple of months and I need to say, that she is by far the most nonjudgmental person I have ever met. She is giving me practical tips and helping me to reframe situations in work and private life to find more inner peace, resilience and self-care and feeling better with myself. I can freely express myself and talk about everything without taboo, which is very important. Thanks for being there for me day and night and helping me to solve my problems and fight my inner demons to become the best version of me and feeling valued again.

Donna is right person to work with. Thanks

Reviewed January 2021

I started my journey with Donna not knowing what it is that I needed help with or what to really expect. I was in pain, that is all I knew for certain, and I threw everything at her. That was new for me. I have had face to face counselling experiences before with two other very kind professionals and with none of them I talked as much during the first sessions as I did with Donna.  It felt super safe when talking with Donna. It is like her aura emits safety which penetrates the skepticism one might have with online counselling (it did for me).  Apart from feeling safe, her great listening and non-judgement skills kept me staying with Donna. I did think a lot about changing counselor once because I wasn't sure whether Donna could understand or help me with problems I was facing in regard to high sensitivities (HSP). However, my gut kept me away from it because of the three traits mentioned before. Till now, I have always wanted to get better very quickly (max. 1 month to get better and even that is too long), but with Donna I managed to learn with my heart slowly to let myself take time with the process of getting better. One more thing which I found amazing because I was not expecting that all, is Donna's ability to shed light on new perspectives on my deep, philosophical/complex writings. Sometimes just a short message from her on my writing makes me something new or helps me gets closer to a solution within me.

Donna strikes the perfect balance of being a non-judgmental listening ear, and giving practical tips and advice. Donna helped me across different problems I was facing at home and at work. She has given me the confidence to manage my fears and anxiety on my own.

If you are looking for a non-bias, A-1 listener, #1 supporter, Donna is right for you! She is an extremely good listener and remembers to remind you of your wins on hard days. I love that you can express yourself without any judgment or criticism; she is 100% there for YOU and will hear you out no matter the situation.
