Online approaches that combine listening and practical skill-building

Donna often uses client-centered therapy to create a respectful, collaborative space where people can talk through what matters most. That approach focuses on understanding each person’s experience and shaping goals together.

She also draws on cognitive behavioral therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and to teach clear coping strategies. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and many everyday challenges. Dialectical behavior therapy elements help when strong emotions feel overwhelming by offering concrete skills for emotion regulation and distress tolerance.

Donna treats finding the right approach as a team effort. She will talk with the client about goals, try methods that fit their needs, and adjust plans based on what helps. The process is collaborative and paced to match personal preferences and life demands.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make access easier. Video is helpful when visual cues and a fuller conversation matter, while phone calls work well when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or text can suit quick check-ins, brief coaching, or people who prefer typing over talking. These options give flexibility to fit therapy into busy routines and different daily schedules.
