Online session options
Approaches you can use online
Donna uses Narrative Therapy to help people reframe the stories they tell about themselves and their relationships, which can reduce shame and open up new choices. Narrative work suits those who want to make sense of life events and change the meaning they carry. She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which focuses on listening and responding to each person's unique needs so goals and pace come from the client. That approach is helpful when someone needs acceptance and a calm space to think things through. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is used to identify unhelpful thinking and test new behaviors; it often helps with anxiety, depression, and coping skills.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work together. Donna collaborates with clients to choose methods that match their goals, values, and energy level. She checks in regularly and adjusts plans so therapy stays practical and focused on what the person wants to change.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make counseling more flexible. Video lets people use face-to-face interaction, phone can fit a quick check-in or lower bandwidth, and chat or messaging can work for shorter exchanges or when writing out thoughts is easier. These options make it simpler to fit sessions around work, caregiving, or other commitments.
