How Donna’s Approaches Work Online
Client-centered therapy puts the person’s experience first. In sessions the therapist listens closely, follows the client’s concerns, and helps people find their own solutions. This approach supports building trust and emotional safety and is useful for anxiety, self-esteem, and relationship worries.Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, focuses on how thoughts influence feelings and behavior. In online sessions this looks like identifying unhelpful thought patterns, trying small behavioral experiments, and learning practical skills to reduce anxiety or manage mood. CBT is often used for stress, depression, and coping with life changes.
EMDR addresses distressing memories and the strong emotions tied to them. Online EMDR-style work involves guided attention and processing of traumatic memories, alongside preparation and stabilization techniques to help people manage intense material when it arises.
Choosing the right method is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the person about goals, past experience, and preferences, then recommend approaches to try together. Changes are reviewed and the plan is adjusted over time to match what helps most.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video calls are helpful for face-to-face interaction, phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited, live chat or messaging can suit brief check-ins or people who prefer writing, and all options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule.
