Online Therapist for Ohio Residents
Online Therapy and Counseling Available Across Ohio
Getting to a therapist's office requires time, transportation, and a schedule flexible enough to make it work. For a lot of people, that combination never quite lines up. Online therapy removes all of it. You get the same quality of care and depth of work from wherever you are, your living room, your car, a quiet office, wherever you can carve out an hour that belongs to you.
Donna Murray is a licensed therapist offering virtual counseling for individuals across Ohio. Whether you are navigating trauma, anxiety, depression, grief, a major life transition, or something you are still finding words for, online therapy is a real and effective path forward.
If you have been searching for an online therapist in Ohio, you are in the right place.
Online Therapy That Goes Beyond The Surface
Some approaches to therapy focus primarily on insight and conversation. That work has real value. But for many people, especially those carrying trauma, grief, anxiety, or long-held patterns that have not shifted with talk therapy alone, the work needs to go deeper.
Donna brings training in EMDR and other evidence-based modalities to her virtual sessions, which means the approach is shaped by what you actually need rather than a single method. Whether your path forward involves processing experiences stored in your body, rebuilding a sense of safety, or working through grief and identity, the work is available to you entirely online.
Research consistently shows that therapy delivered virtually produces outcomes comparable to in-person sessions. Getting help online is not a compromise. For many people, it is the option that finally makes getting help possible.
What Online Therapy with Donna Can Help You With
Online therapy at Donna Murray Counseling covers the full range of what brings people to therapy. Whether your needs are clearly defined or you are still figuring out where to start, there is space for you here.
Trauma and PTSD. Traumatic experiences have a way of staying present long after they are over. Therapy helps your brain process what happened so the past stops interrupting your present, without requiring you to relive every detail.
Anxiety and panic. The racing thoughts, the tension, the dread that shows up without warning. Online anxiety therapy works at the root of what keeps your nervous system on high alert so you can begin to feel steady again.
Depression. Whether it is a fog you cannot shake, a numbness that has settled in, or a heaviness that makes getting through the day feel like an effort, online therapy for depression addresses what is underneath so the weight begins to lift.
Grief and loss. Loss takes many forms. The death of someone you love, the end of a relationship, a pregnancy loss, a version of yourself you have had to let go of. Online grief counseling creates space to process all of it at your own pace and without pressure.
Therapy for women. Trauma, relationships, anxiety, depression, postpartum depression and anxiety, perimenopause, menopause, reproductive health, life transitions, and identity. Online therapy for women covers the full range of what this season of life can bring.
Therapy for veterans. PTSD, hypervigilance, moral injury, survivor's guilt, depression, anger, the transition to civilian life, and rebuilding relationships and identity after service. Online veterans therapy offers the same respect and depth of work as in-person sessions.
Couples counseling. Communication breakdowns, unresolved conflict, trust issues, emotional distance, and attachment wounds. Online couples counseling helps both partners feel heard and supported as you work toward a stronger, more secure connection.
Life transitions and identity. Divorce, career changes, an empty nest, a health diagnosis, a milestone that has left you questioning who you are. Online therapy helps you process the grief and uncertainty that major transitions bring and find your footing on the other side.
You do not have to have it figured out before you reach out. That is what the first conversation is for.
Is Online Therapy as Effective as In-Person Therapy?
It is one of the most common questions people ask, and the answer is yes. Research consistently shows that online therapy produces outcomes comparable to in-person therapy across a wide range of conditions including trauma, anxiety, depression, and grief.
For many people, online therapy is actually more effective because it removes the practical barriers that would otherwise prevent them from getting help at all. No commute, no waiting room, no having to hold yourself together in a parking lot afterward. You can do the work and then take the time you need to settle before returning to your day.
The approaches Donna uses, including EMDR, have been shown to translate well to virtual formats. The work does not lose its depth because it happens on a screen.

Why Trust Donna?
Donna brings training in a wide range of evidence-based modalities so the work is shaped by what you actually need, not a single method applied to everyone.
Her approach draws from EMDR, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Narrative Therapy, and Gottman's Model for couples work. If faith is an important part of your life and you want it to be part of your healing, faith-based therapy is available as well. It is never assumed or imposed, simply offered for those who want it.
Donna holds additional specialized training in women's health through Harvard Medical School and is completing certification through SBHP (Star Behavioral Health Providers) to work with veterans and military service members. This fall she will add certification in Mental Health and Aging, reflecting her commitment to meeting clients through every season of life.
