About Teresa Donato Counseling

I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor based out of Billings, Montana. In my counselling practice, I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and derivatives of CBT such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy. CBT is a highly effective treatment program with the goal of changing patterns of thinking and attitudes that influence the way a person feels and behaves. CBT’s effectiveness is based on years of scientific evidence. This treatment program is solution-focused and tends to be shorter than other types of treatment which can span a significant amount of time. CBT can treat a wide range of issues and disorders including depression, anxiety, trauma, personality disorders, compulsive and binge eating disorders, and more. In conjunction with CBT, I use writing therapy and art therapy if my client is comfortable in doing this.
My ultimate intention is to help you realize your true potential in life by introducing you to:

~  creative stress management tools

~  goal planning techniques to help you better navigate your own future

~  approaches on how to replace negative habits with positive habits
​
~  methods on how to master the art of positive thinking
