About Donna Ciccone, LCSW, EFT-ACEP, RYT-200

Hi there, and welcome!

As an integrative psychotherapist, I believe that healing is about much more than simply managing symptoms. While anxiety, depression, chronic stress, and emotional overwhelm can leave us feeling disconnected from ourselves, they are often signs that our nervous system has been carrying more than it was ever meant to hold.

My passion is helping people move beyond temporary coping strategies to discover the root causes of emotional suffering. Together, we explore the patterns, beliefs, experiences, and protective responses that may be keeping you stuck so lasting healing can begin.

My Approach to Nervous System Regulation and Emotional Healing

As an integrative psychotherapist, I combine evidence-based approaches with mind-body healing techniques to help restore balance to the nervous system and create meaningful, lasting change. My work integrates Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT/Tapping), Internal Family Systems (IFS)/parts work, cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness, and other somatic approaches that help regulate the nervous system, restore a sense of safety within the body, and gently uncover and heal the underlying patterns contributing to anxiety, depression, and emotional distress. Rather than simply managing symptoms, my goal is to help you understand the deeper emotional and physiological patterns that keep you feeling stuck so you can experience greater resilience, inner peace, and a renewed sense of well-being.

When the nervous system feels safe, the mind becomes clearer. Anxiety begins to soften. Depression can lift. Relationships improve, confidence grows, and life becomes more fulfilling—not because you've learned to fight your emotions, but because you've learned to understand them with compassion.

I believe each person already possesses an innate capacity to heal. Sometimes we simply need the right support, tools, and guidance to reconnect with that inner wisdom.

Whether you're struggling with anxiety, depression, stress, trauma, relationship challenges, life transitions, low self-esteem, or simply feeling overwhelmed by life, my goal is to provide a safe, compassionate space where you can slow down, reconnect with yourself, and move toward greater emotional freedom, resilience, and inner peace.

Healing isn't about becoming someone different. It's about returning to the calm, balanced, and authentic person you've always been beneath the stress, fear, and protective patterns.

I would be honored to walk alongside you on that journey. Contact me here.
