Donna Coakley, LPC, LCPC
About me
I am a License Professional Counselor and a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor Supervisor. I am license in the District of Columbia, Maryland, and VA. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, career challenges, OCD, and ADHD. I have also had over 10 years experience working with military members and their families from all branches of the military.
My therapy style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating anyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, and talk therapy. I am a certified in Dialectic Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Certified as a Clinical Trauma Professional Therapist (CCTP), and an approved EMDR Therapist. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.
It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards change. If you are ready to take that step, I am here to support and empower you.
I look forward to working with you!
