Online support options
Online approaches that focus on change and connection
Donna often uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and practice new responses. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and ADHD-related challenges because it breaks problems into clear steps and skill practice.She also draws on attachment-based therapy to look at how early relationship patterns shape current responses. This approach helps people who want to improve intimacy, communication, and emotional safety in close relationships.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Donna will collaborate with each client to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. Together they set priorities, try techniques, and adjust as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide practical flexibility. Video lets people use visual cues and more in-depth conversation, phone can be simpler when bandwidth is limited, live chat can be good for shorter check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, school, or caregiving schedules while keeping the focus on useful change.
