Getting to know Michele Donalson

Hi there, I'm Michele! My name is Michele Donalson. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Wisconsin, with a Master’s degree in Professional Counseling from Concordia University. I work mainly with couples using the Gottman Method, Solutions-Focused Therapy, and Emotionally Focused Therapy approaches. My approach I primarily use a cognitive approach in therapy, focusing on the client’s experience and expertise of themselves and their prior life experiences. I use that information as it is learned to help the client work through possible solutions to the issues they bring into therapy. My focus I work mostly with couples and individuals. The work is usually centered on marital and relationship matters where communication, anxiety, and depression issues are often present. My communication style I offer a non-judgmental environment where concerns can be openly presented. The goal is to work on processing these issues and find solutions that the client is comfortable with. My journey to mental healthcare Therapy was a calling for me. I prayed for a career that I could have some longevity in and that would feel rewarding. It was a lengthy journey to get here, but I have enjoyed learning about people and how resilient they are even in the face of adversity. What I have learned is that people want universal things like respect, emotional connection, and love. I start from the place of knowing that anything is possible, and I now have years of experience seeing that people have recovered from losses and setbacks they originally did not see themselves getting through. My goals for you Setting goals is a collaborative process. It starts in Session One with the assessment as concerns are presented. I usually share the themes I am picking up on as a way to check in with clients and then directly ask if I am on the right track with my thinking or if there is something else they want to focus on for treatment.
