About Donna

Dr. Donna St. Hillier brings four decades of clinical experience to her practice in Florida, combining a doctoral degree with licensure as a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) - a credential that identifies her as a trained, practicing mental health professional. She has spent 40 years helping people manage stress and anxiety, navigate grief and loss, and address depression, drawing on a broad background that includes work with older adults and those facing life transitions.

Her approach centers on the belief that each person is the author of their own life story and that existing strengths and lived experience are vital resources in facing challenges. Dr. St. Hillier works collaboratively with clients to explore coping strategies for issues such as abandonment, caregiving stress, chronic illness and pain, codependency, communication difficulties, gender dysphoria, and questions of life purpose. She also supports people impacted by cancer, HIV/AIDS, hospice and end-of-life concerns, and those processing guilt, shame, or forgiveness.

Beginning therapy can require courage, and Dr. St. Hillier welcomes the opportunity to meet clients where they are, help them identify practical next steps, and support them as they draw on their resilience to move toward meaningful change.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Dr. Donna St. Hillier uses evidence-informed approaches to guide online work, tailoring methods to each person's needs. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients clarify personal values, accept difficult thoughts or feelings, and take meaningful action - it is often useful for anxiety, stress, and coping with chronic health challenges. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathic listening and a nonjudgmental relationship, offering a supportive space for healing around grief, life transitions, and emotional processing. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and developing practical skills to manage symptoms of depression, anxiety, and related concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Dr. St. Hillier collaborates with each person to determine which methods best fit their goals, preferences, and life circumstances. This collaborative exploration helps shape a personalized plan that draws on the strengths the client brings to therapy.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and accessibility. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, maintain continuity of care during life changes, and connect with a licensed professional from the location that works best for the client.
