How Donna's Approaches Translate to Online Work

Client-Centered Therapy places the client’s concerns at the center of each session. The therapist listens closely and follows the person’s lead to set goals and topics. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and practicing different behaviors to reduce anxiety and improve mood.

These approaches complement each other. Donna will work with the person to decide which methods fit their goals and daily life. This is a collaborative process where the therapist checks in and adjusts techniques as progress is made.

The biography does not specify which online session formats are provided. Confirm the available formats before booking so you know whether sessions will be by video, phone, or another option. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy schedule, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It can also make practicing skills between sessions simpler, since exercises can be applied in real-world settings between meetings.
