About Donna
Donna Baynes is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Georgia with 10 years of experience. She helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, parenting concerns, relationship issues, and caregiving strain. Donna also focuses on blended family issues and other family-related challenges.
Her sessions are straightforward and practical. She uses cognitive behavioral ideas to identify thoughts that keep problems going. Motivational interviewing helps people find their own reasons to change. Solution-focused work looks for small, immediate steps that make daily life easier.
Donna has worked with people in educational settings and with parents of students who have special needs. That background informs how she talks about school routines, support systems, and parenting plans. She keeps explanations simple and actionable.
In conversations she aims to be respectful and direct. She helps clients set short-term goals and checks progress in follow-up sessions. Common topics include co-parenting stress, fitting new routines together, loyalty conflicts, and grief.
Practical tools often come from CBT skills - such as breaking down worries into steps - and from solution-focused strategies like creating a quick plan for the week. Motivational interviewing is used when people feel stuck or unsure about change.
