About Donna
Donna Bolger is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Delaware with 25 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, relationship strain, depression, and the challenges that follow big life changes. Donna also focuses on communication problems, forgiveness, guilt and shame, loneliness, life purpose, and self-love.
She offers straightforward, practical sessions where people talk through what matters most right now. Conversations often start by naming the most urgent problem and noticing small patterns that keep it stuck. She helps people practice new ways of talking and behaving so daily life becomes easier to manage.
Donna uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques and aims for collaborative work. Sessions can include reflecting on past hurts, learning skills to reduce anxiety, and trying different ways to repair or set boundaries in relationships. She respects each person’s values and beliefs and adapts how she works to those preferences.
Her background in social work brings experience with addiction and mood concerns alongside relationship difficulties. Over her career she has developed an approach that combines practical skills with attention to meaning and purpose. That focus can help when someone is unsure what comes next after a job change, breakup, health shift, or other transition.
People who contact Donna are invited to describe their current situation, goals, and what feels hardest. She asks about daily routines, supports, and small wins so sessions can produce immediate, usable steps toward clearer direction and steadier coping.
Therapeutic approaches and working online
Donna draws from evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people manage mood and relationship challenges. One common method she uses focuses on skills for anxiety and stress - learning concrete breathing, attention, and behavior strategies to reduce overwhelm and increase steady functioning. This approach helps when symptoms interrupt daily tasks or sleep.Another common technique centers on relationship and communication skills. That work targets how people express needs, set limits, and repair breaches so interactions become clearer and less reactive. It is useful for those who want better conversations with partners, friends, or colleagues.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Donna discusses options with each person and decides together which techniques fit their goals, needs, and preferences. She revises plans as progress or difficulties emerge so the work stays practical and focused.

In general, working remotely can make sessions easier to fit around work or family tasks, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when a full session isn’t needed. Therapists and licensed professionals often use these practical benefits to help therapy fit into everyday life without asking clients to rearrange everything.
