Background and approach

Mindfulness practices are used to calm the body and reduce reactivity in stressful moments. Donna has worked across age groups and settings, including significant recent experience with older adults facing medical changes, end-of-life concerns, and grief. She has also coached healthcare leaders and individuals stepping into leadership roles, helping them build skills and confidence for demanding jobs.

Sessions address issues like trauma and abuse, relationship struggles, parenting challenges, work stress, caregiver strain, and life-purpose questions. She also supports people coping with cancer, disaster-related stress, divorce, and veteran-related concerns. The emphasis is on setting realistic goals and using practical tools to move forward.

Clients and providers can expect a collaborative process. Donna starts by meeting people where they are, then develops a plan together. Progress is tracked in simple steps so change feels achievable.

Online support

How therapy approaches work online

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a plan around each person's needs. The therapist follows the client's concerns and helps set goals that feel relevant and doable. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and tests small changes to see what helps. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related patterns.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss options and try methods that match the client's goals and comfort. Together they track what works and adjust the plan when needed so progress happens step by step.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect: video calls let people use face-to-face conversation, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is low, live chat is useful for quick check-ins, and text messaging supports brief updates or ongoing reflection. These formats make it easier to fit sessions into workdays, caregiving schedules, or recovery routines without long commutes.
