Background and approach
Donna uses a mix of approaches to match the person and the problem. She draws on client-centered methods to follow the person's lead, cognitive behavioral tools to change patterns of thinking and behavior, and emotionally focused ideas to deepen connection and manage feelings. She also uses existential questions and EMDR when trauma work calls for them.
Many clients come with complicated family histories, blended household stresses, abandonment wounds, caregiver strain, or problems like codependency and communication breakdowns. Donna also supports people coping with natural or human-caused disaster, veteran and armed forces issues, and challenges such as infidelity, jealousy, and midlife transitions. Her practice includes coaching elements for people wanting clearer goals and action plans.
Sessions are offered in English and delivered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Donna aims to meet each person where they are and work collaboratively toward realistic change.

04Online support
Therapeutic approaches for online healing and growth
Client-centered therapy focuses on understanding each person's experience and following their lead in sessions. It helps people feel heard and supports them in finding their own solutions and coping strategies.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thinking and behavior that fuel anxiety, depression, or anger. It uses practical exercises and homework to change unhelpful thoughts and build healthier habits.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people notice and regulate strong emotions and improve connection in close relationships. It is useful when relationship patterns and attachment needs are at the heart of the problem.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the person to identify goals, try methods that fit their needs, and adjust the plan if something isn’t helping. This is an interactive process rather than a one-size-fits-all prescription.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues help, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging support ongoing contact, quick reflections, and flexibility for people with busy schedules. These options make it easier to fit consistent work on goals into everyday life.
