Donna Curran, LCSW

Donna Curran welcomes people who want to feel more hopeful, less overwhelmed, or more connected in their relationships. She helps reduce anxiety, ease depression, and address relationship or intimacy concerns. Donna works with individuals and with couples, using clear steps and practical tools to make day-to-day life more manageable.

Donna is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker - LCSW - with three decades of experience. She holds a Master of Social Work from Temple University and a Master of Health Administration from Pennsylvania State University. Her practice emphasizes straightforward, goal-focused work that responds to the situation you bring to the first session.

Her approach draws on cognitive and solution-focused ideas while keeping a broad, whole-person view. Sessions are collaborative: goals get set together, progress is checked, and plans are adjusted when needed. Donna aims to give concrete coping skills alongside space to talk through painful patterns and past stressors.

She has a long history of helping people with depression, anxiety, stress, grief, addictions, and intimacy-related problems. She also supports people managing parenting strain, sleep and eating concerns, anger, self-esteem, career changes, ADHD, and bipolar-related issues.

Donna trained in family-structured work at the Philadelphia Child Guidance Clinic after graduate school, and she uses that background to notice patterns that affect relationships. If you want practical tools and steady support while you work toward change, she can help you plan the steps forward.

How therapy approaches fit into online care

Donna uses cognitive approaches that help people change unhelpful thinking patterns and learn new responses to stress and anxiety. These methods teach simple exercises for day-to-day worries and can help with mood, anxiety, and coping with life changes.

She also draws on solution-focused techniques that emphasize small, practical steps. These sessions focus on setting short-term goals, testing what works, and building routines that improve relationships and daily function.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss your goals and preferences and together you will decide which methods to try. Adjustments are made over time based on what helps you make progress.
