How Donna’s Approaches Work Online
Donna uses client-centered therapy to follow each person’s priorities and strengths. This approach focuses on listening, reflecting what matters, and building plans that fit daily life rather than imposing a rigid path.She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people spot and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT is practical and works well for anxiety, depression, and workplace stress by breaking problems into small, manageable steps.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative effort. Donna will discuss goals and preferences, try methods that match those goals, and adjust the plan together as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is useful for deeper conversations and visual cues. Phone works well when bandwidth is limited or for quick check-ins. Live chat and text-based messaging let people fit short sessions into a busy day and keep momentum between meetings. These options make it easier to get consistent support across different schedules and locations.
