Donna Byxbe

Donna Byxbe is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who brings nearly three decades of practice to her work in Texas. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, mood challenges, relationship difficulties, and life transitions. Her approach centers on listening and responding to what each person says they need. Donna emphasizes respect and the right of each client to make choices about their care.

Donna spent much of her career in community mental health programs before opening a private practice in 2005. She has worked with adults, children, adolescents, older adults, couples, and groups in a variety of settings. Over the years she has addressed issues from serious mental illness to everyday choices that feel overwhelming.

Her practice blends Client-Centered Therapy with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Psychodynamic ideas, EMDR, and mindfulness-based methods. She also uses transpersonal tools such as hypnotherapy, meditation, and inner child work when they fit a client’s goals. Treatment plans are based on the problems a person brings and the goals they want to reach.

When working with partners, her focus is on improving how each person heals on their own while also improving how they relate together. She talks about communication, compromise, and negotiation as practical skills couples can learn. Donna aims to support people in finding clearer ways to meet their needs.

Throughout her work she foregrounds choice and dignity. She offers feedback, guidance, and a steady presence while clients try out new ways of coping and relating. Anyone considering therapy is invited to start by describing what they hope to change and the goals they want to set.
