About

Donna Wilbur, LICSW, brings more than 25 years of experience and training in psychiatric rehabilitation sciences to clinical work. She approaches therapy from a recovery model and uses a strengths-based stance that centers on what each person brings to the process rather than emphasizing diagnosis alone.

Her practice addresses a range of concerns including LGBT issues, trauma and abuse, grief, bipolar disorder, and depression. Additional areas of focus include abandonment, attachment difficulties, isolation and loneliness, mood disorders, post-traumatic stress, social anxiety and phobia, women's issues, and workplace-related challenges.

Wilbur works to facilitate a trusting, non-judgmental space where individuals can apply their own expertise in recovery. She incorporates cognitive behavioral therapy, relapse prevention, and motivational enhancement therapy into individualized plans, attending to obstacles and building practical skills while highlighting personal strengths.

Remote sessions grounded in practical skills and motivation

Donna Wilbur provides online care that draws on cognitive behavioral therapy, relapse prevention, and motivational enhancement therapy. Cognitive behavioral therapy is presented in accessible terms as a way to notice and test unhelpful thoughts and behaviors while learning alternative coping strategies. Relapse prevention focuses on identifying triggers and creating step-by-step plans to reduce the chance of setbacks. Motivational enhancement therapy explores a person’s reasons for change and helps clarify and strengthen commitment to goals.

These approaches are used within a recovery-oriented, strengths-based framework that invites collaborative planning. Wilbur emphasizes the client’s expertise in their own life and works together with them to choose strategies and goals that fit their priorities and context.

Telehealth appointments are available by video calls and by phone, with additional support through live chat or text-based messaging. Prospective clients can discuss which mix of real-time sessions and messaging best matches their needs.
