About Donovan
Donovan Harmon uses a person-centered approach that puts the client at the center of the work. He blends Client-Centered Therapy with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Donovan holds an LPC, and he has 16 years of experience practicing in Louisiana.
He helps people facing ADHD, anger, grief, family problems, and parenting stress. He also works with concerns such as eating difficulties, bipolar mood challenges, and coping with major life changes.
How Donovan works
Donovan listens for strengths and builds on what already works in each person’s life. Sessions focus on practical steps and small, achievable goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify unhelpful thoughts and change patterns that cause distress.
Solution-Focused Therapy is used to map clear, short-term goals and track progress between sessions. Donovan emphasizes straightforward conversation and concrete tools. He offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging so people can choose what fits their routine.
Scheduling follows a simple intake and matching process so new clients can begin at a pace that suits them. He believes people know the core of their story and that therapy is a collaborative effort. The work is paced to each person’s needs, focusing on useful coping skills and clearer thinking.
Donovan aims to make the process manageable and respectful of everyday life.

Online support options
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding a person's perspective. Online sessions use that same attitude by creating space for people to tell their story and identify strengths that can be used to solve problems.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy targets thoughts and behaviors that feed anxiety or low mood. In online work, that often means identifying unhelpful thinking, trying small behavior experiments between sessions, and reviewing results together to make steady change.
Solution-Focused Therapy looks for practical steps and measurable progress. It fits well with shorter check-ins, messaging, and goal tracking so people can notice what improves week to week.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Donovan will talk with clients about their needs, goals, and preferences and choose methods together. That collaborative process helps shape what happens in sessions and what is tried between meetings.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for deeper conversations when face-to-face interaction helps. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in fits a work break. Live chat and messaging are practical for quick reflections, homework review, or ongoing support between scheduled sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life while keeping the focus on usable strategies and steady progress.
