Donna Byxbe, LCSW

Donna Byxbe is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Texas with 29 years of experience. She works with adults on concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship problems, addictions, anger, and ADHD. Sessions address practical problems people bring and goals they want to reach.

Donna spent much of her career in community mental health programs before moving into private practice in 2005. Her background includes work with a wide range of problems and with people at different life stages. She uses what the client identifies as the priority when shaping treatment.

Her approach draws from Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Psychodynamic Therapy, Mindfulness, and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). She also incorporates transpersonal techniques such as hypnotherapy, meditation, and inner child work when they fit the treatment plan.

Treatment plans are developed from the client’s stated concerns and goals. Donna explains options, offers feedback, and helps people practice communication, compromise, and negotiation skills when relationships are involved. She emphasizes self-determination and lets clients decline any suggested method.

When working on relationship issues, she frames healing as both independent and interdependent growth. For anger or mood concerns the focus can include skill-building, thought patterns, and experiences from the past that maintain current reactions. The work typically blends talking, skill practice, and mindfulness exercises.
