About Donnalyn
Donnalyn Morgan is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) based in Hawaii who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, addiction, and relationship challenges. She begins by listening closely to each person's story and looks for strengths to build on. Her approach is practical and collaborative, aimed at small changes that add up over time.
With three years of formal experience as an LMFT, Donnalyn uses a mix of methods to fit each person's needs.
Background and approach
She often draws on the Gottman Method for relationship skills, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot unhelpful thoughts and habits, and Client-Centered Therapy to keep sessions grounded in the person’s perspective. She also incorporates Emotionally-Focused and existential ideas when they suit a client's goals. Sessions focus on what matters most to the client.
That might mean learning ways to manage anxiety day to day, addressing patterns that fuel addiction, or practicing communication skills to reduce conflict. Donnalyn works at a steady pace and checks in about what is working and what needs to change. Her practice welcomes people who want a respectful, direct approach and who prefer to work together on clear, practical steps.
She explains methods in plain language and helps clients try new habits between sessions. People can expect straightforward guidance, help sorting out complicated feelings, and tools to navigate relationship strain and life transitions. Donnalyn keeps therapy focused on each client's priorities and real-life routines.

Online support
Approaches you can use in online sessions
Many online sessions with Donnalyn draw on the Gottman Method to build practical relationship skills like better communication and conflict management. Gottman-informed work focuses on specific habits couples or partners can practice to reduce reactivity and increase connection.She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which means sessions stay focused on the person’s experience and priorities rather than a fixed agenda. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is often paired with this to help identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors that worsen anxiety, depression, or addictive patterns.
Finding the right approach is a team effort. Donnalyn will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they pick methods to try and adjust them as needed based on progress and feedback.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls let people work face to face when they want that connection. Phone sessions can fit into a short break or use less bandwidth. Live chat and text messaging are useful for quick check-ins, ongoing feedback, or when writing feels easier than speaking. These options make therapy more flexible for busy schedules and varied communication styles.
