About Donna

Donna Rippelmeyer is a Nevada-licensed LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker) with 35 years of professional experience. She focuses on sexual issues and regularly supports people navigating stress, anxiety, LGBTQ concerns, and trauma and abuse. Donna combines a client-centered stance with practical strategies to help clients explore difficult thoughts and feelings in a nonjudgmental setting. She emphasizes clear communication and compassionate listening while adapting interventions to each person’s needs and goals.

Recognizing that beginning therapy often takes courage, Donna works to make the intake and early sessions straightforward and approachable. Her practice addresses a range of concerns including mood and panic disorders, obsessive-compulsive patterns, relationship challenges, and issues related to gender and sexuality. Based in Nevada, she offers multiple ways to connect so clients can choose the format that best fits their life and schedule.

Client-Centered and CBT Approaches for Online Care

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes active listening, empathy, and collaboration so the client’s own priorities guide the work. This approach is helpful for exploring identity, LGBTQ-related concerns, and emotional responses to life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thought and behavior patterns and teaching concrete skills to manage anxiety, mood symptoms, panic, and obsessive-compulsive tendencies. CBT tends to be solution-oriented and skill-building, useful when specific symptoms are a focus.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy itself. Donna works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts the plan over time based on progress and feedback. Clients are invited to participate in choosing techniques and pacing so treatment feels personalized.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to suit different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, access support from home or work, and adapt session formats as needs change, while working with licensed professionals and therapists who can guide treatment effectively.
