About me

In working as a licensed counselor, I strive to bring a blend of experience, energy, compassion, concern, and education to the counseling process, in working with those I serve. I have worked with children, adults, couples, and families for over 10 years. I have years of experience with mental and behavioral health, as well as substance abuse. I earned my Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from Charleston Southern University and my Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Georgia Southern University. I am currently a Licensed Processional Counselor in Georgia and a National Board Certified Counselor. I have worked as a Therapist and also served as a Clinical Director, providing counseling and treatment on both an outpatient and inpatient level. I have overseen a youth program working with over 250 children and adolescents daily. I also currently serve as a mentor and volunteer for youth in my surrounding communities and church.

I would describe my approach in counseling as one that is client centered and individualized, filled with empathy and compassion. I am also direct and work with my clients to help them achieve their goals. I work from a Cognitive Behavioral Therapy approach, but also utilize Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Narrative Therapy. I like to focus on client’s strengths and help build upon that to deal with crisis situations or any past trauma that one may be working through.

On a personal note, I was raised in South Carolina, so I love the water and seafood, as my own personal ways to unwind. I am also married and my husband serves in the military.

I look forward to working with you and helping you to achieve your goals and grow to better love yourself.

I have been talking with Donna for over a year now and 100% look forward to our talks. Even on weeks where I am feeling confident it is good to talk through the good feelings too!

Donna has been such a gift to us. She listens, she cares, and offers us great advice. It's a safe space where we continue to learn about each other and grow.
We've initially gone through at least 20 different counselors before we met Donna. So happy we continue to look!

Donna is an exceptional counsellor!! She is such a good active listener and has helped me develop skills to assert myself and work on some happiness skills in general. Can not recommend her highly enough :)

Donna has provided me with thoughtful, kind, and affirmative counselling. She always takes time to listen to what I have to say and has provided me with a variety of ways to express myself and explore my thoughts and feelings. I was very nervous about starting counselling but Donna has made me feel so comfortable on my journey. Thank you Donna!

I was sceptical of the counseling process and did not think it was for me at all. Donna has completely changed my mind and after just one session, I was so grateful to have been matched with her. I don't have the words to express how grateful I have been for her help, support and guidance duirng a very difficult and challenging time. She's outstanding in her approach, skill-set and compassion. I would not hesitate to recommend Faithful Counselling and particulalry Donna.

Donna really is a great lady, I feel I can totally open up to her and the advice she gives is achievable with our relationship, my partner and I were at breaking point but Donna has shown us how to communicate better so we are working hard to continue forward with our relationship

Donna has been an amazing counselor! She’s helped me to stay calm and positive in my storm. She welcomes you to share whatever it is you’d like. If she can’t get back to you right away, she will always respond at some point with the most encouraging words. You will be happy you chose her as your counselor.

Donna has made me feel comfortable from the first day I have spoken to her. I feel she understands me better than myself and makes me reflect on why I’m feeling the way I’m feeling. With the support of Donna, I’m on my way to a brighter future.

Written on Sep 15, 2019 after therapy with Donna for 2 weeks on issues concerning addictions, relationship issues, grief, intimacy-related issues, and coping with life changes

Donna is very attentive to my needs and offered me an approach to work on my goals. When I get distracted by other drama in my life, she was able to gently bring me back to the goal we were working on. After we were done making a plan for that goal, she reintroduced the drama that was bothering me and we figured out an approach to deal with it. I approach how focus and mindful she is.

Donna is the second counsellor I have been assigned to since starting on teencounseling.com. She replies in a timely manner and has helped me set realistic goals toward reaching a better place mentally. She offers good advice and support, and manageable steps and tools for use in my journey.

Written on Sep 05, 2019 after therapy with Donna for 2 weeks on issues concerning relationship

My wife and I decided to give online couples counseling a go after finding traditional methods weren’t all that suited to our busy working and parenting lifestyle. Our counselor Donna Kemp has been amazing! We both feel she’s listened to us and given us the confidence to step out of our comfort zone to deal with problems that are easy to avoid. She is encouraging without being pushy. We’ve both responded very well to her and her methods and look forward to continuing on with Donna. Highly recommend!

Work with me!
