Getting to know Donna Shoop
Hi there, I'm Donna!
I am Donna Shoop, Licensed Professional Counselor with a MEd in Counseling from Sul Ross State University. I believe in helping people grow and overcome obstacles in their lives. I am very non-judgmental and caring when supporting someone. I am a great listener and help people find purpose in their lives. I worked as a school counselor for over 25 years and have been counseling individuals, families, and couples since 2006. Having been helped by a therapist myself, I now want to help others.
My approach
I believe in meeting people where they are and helping them grow toward where they want to be. I am very successful with those who have experienced trauma, suffer from anxiety or depression, or need help accepting who they are. I also help couples learn to communicate and build loving relationships. I use cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), a person-centered approach, and solution-focused therapy.
My focus
I work with anyone who has a need and is willing to try new things to improve their life. I enjoy working with clients who want to grow and become the person they have always wanted to be.
My communication style
I am a good listener-empathetic and supportive. I strive to make sure clients feel comfortable and safe. My tone is positive and uplifting, and my demeanor is calm and caring.
My journey to therapy
Having faced many difficult times, I sought help through therapy. My therapist helped me become a better person, and I became a therapist to help others as I was helped. I believe in "passing it on." It brings me great joy to help someone learn to become the person they were always meant to be. I trained to help people change their mindset so they can change their lives.
My goals for you
You will notice yourself becoming more positive in your thoughts and outlook on life.
