Supportive Online Therapy Across Connecticut.
Lisa Donohue, LPC, LADC, CLAT, LPAT, offers a warm, trauma-informed space for adults and teens working through trauma, anxiety, emotional overwhelm, and the patterns that keep them feeling stuck. EMDR and art therapy are available when they feel helpful and aligned with your goals.
You Don’t Have to Do This Alone
Healing is not always a straight path.
Sometimes you know exactly what hurt. Other times, you only know that certain feelings, memories, relationships, or reactions keep pulling you back into something unresolved. Lisa's role is to help you move through that process with steadiness, curiosity, and care.
Working with adults and teens across Connecticut, Lisa offers a grounded, collaborative space for people who want to understand themselves more deeply, work through trauma and anxiety, and feel less stuck in old emotional patterns. Sessions are paced around what feels safe enough to explore, and never rushed.
You bring what you can. Lisa helps hold the light while you begin finding your way through.
How Therapy Can Help
Lisa offers supportive online therapy for adults and teens across Connecticut, with a flexible approach that meets you where you are. Depending on what feels helpful and right for you, that might include EMDR, art therapy, addiction counseling, relaxation and grounding skills, and mind-body-informed support — never forced, always paced around what feels safe to explore.

Managing Stress
You may be getting through each day and still feel like you are surviving more than thriving. Lisa helps you understand what is underneath the stress, anxiety, and emotional overwhelm — the patterns that keep you feeling stuck, while building practical tools to feel more grounded, present, and like yourself again.

Trauma and PTSD
Trauma has a way of staying with you long after the experience is over, showing up in your body, your relationships, your confidence, and your sense of safety. Through EMDR and trauma therapy, Lisa helps you process painful memories so they begin to feel more organized and less overwhelming — at a pace that feels supported and manageable, not rushed.

Mental Health for Chronic Illness
Living with chronic pain, fatigue, autoimmune conditions, or other medical issues takes a real toll — on your energy, your identity, and your mental health. Lisa offers compassionate, mind-body-informed support for the emotional weight of chronic illness: the medical stress, the limitations, and the uncertainty.

Recovery Support
Getting sober is a meaningful step, and staying sober brings its own challenges — learning to sit with feelings you used to numb, repairing relationships, and figuring out who you are without your substance of choice. Lisa offers addiction counseling and recovery support to help you manage cravings, navigate triggers, prevent relapse, and build a life you don't need to numb.
More Than One Way to Heal
At its heart, this is talk therapy, a steady, trusting relationship where you're met with warmth and never rushed. From that foundation, Lisa draws on additional approaches when they fit you and your goals. Two of the most powerful:
EMDR
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, is a very effective, well-researched therapy for trauma and painful memories. If talk therapy hasn't shifted what’s resurfacing, it offers another way to help your brain settle distressing memories so they lose their grip. Lisa walks you through every step.
Art Therapy
Some things are hard to put into words and you don't have to. Art therapy gives shape to what's inside, and it takes no artistic skill at all. It's always optional: sometimes a small part of a session, sometimes the focus. Entirely up to you.
Art Therapy Supervision Coming Soon
Later this summer 2026, Lisa will begin offering individual and group supervision for art therapists seeking clinical supervision hours in Connecticut.
The group will offer a supportive space for art making, ethical reflection, workplace challenges, clinical growth, and peer connection.
Individual supervision: $75 per session
Group supervision: $50 per session
