About Donna

Approaches and what online work looks like

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely and shaping the work around the person's needs and pace, which helps when people feel overwhelmed by anxiety or life changes. CBT looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and offers straightforward exercises to test new ways of thinking and behaving. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention practices that can reduce stress and calm racing thoughts.Finding the right approach is part of the process, and Donna works collaboratively to choose methods that fit a person's goals and preferences. She checks in about what is working and will adjust plans as needed so therapy stays practical and useful.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life by eliminating travel time, allowing shorter check-ins when appropriate, and making it simpler to join from different locations. It also supports continuity of care when life events make in-person visits difficult. Licensed professionals, including therapists, can use these approaches to help people manage stress, anxiety, grief, and relationship concerns while keeping sessions focused on everyday problems and achievable goals.
