Approaches that guide online therapy and support

Donna integrates several well-established approaches to suit different concerns and goals. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns - it helps people understand attachment needs and improve intimacy, trust, and connection in adult relationships. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy and the client’s own capacity for growth - the therapist offers nonjudgmental support so the client can explore feelings and make choices that feel right for them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a practical, goal-oriented approach that identifies unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and develops skills to manage symptoms of anxiety, stress, and mood challenges.

Donna treats finding the right approach as a collaborative process. She works with each person to assess needs, preferences, and goals, and then adapts methods or blends approaches to match what will be most helpful in therapy.

Online therapy with Donna is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility around work, family, and location. These options make it easier to access consistent support from registered professionals and to continue work between sessions when helpful.
