Online support
How Donna’s approaches translate to online therapy
Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening and working at the client’s pace. In practice this means starting with the person’s priorities and shaping sessions around what they say matters most, which fits well into conversation-style video or phone work.Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. Online sessions can include short exercises, worksheets sent ahead of time, and step-by-step skill building to reduce symptoms like anxiety or anger.
Dialectical behavior therapy, or DBT, teaches practical skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and communication. Those skills lend themselves to brief coaching moments in text or live chat and to longer skill practice during video sessions.
Donna treats finding the right approach as a team effort. She will talk with the client about goals, try strategies, and adjust methods based on what works. That collaborative process helps match tools and pace to each person’s needs.
Online formats offer flexibility for different routines and comfort levels. Video calls are useful for deeper conversation and skill practice. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth or face-to-face contact is limited. Live chat and text messaging allow quick check-ins, brief coaching, and ongoing support between longer sessions. These options help people fit therapy into a busy life without losing continuity of care.
