Therapeutic approaches and online care

Donna combines approaches rooted in attachment-based work and client-centered practice to help clients build healthier relationships and a stronger sense of self. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early connections influence current patterns, helping people make different choices in relationships and feel more secure. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on understanding the client’s experience without judgment, allowing the person’s own goals and insights to guide the pace and direction of change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy offers practical tools to identify and adjust unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, supporting improvements in mood and daily functioning.

Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. Donna works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods align with their needs, goals, and preferences, and adjusts the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy with Donna makes it easier to fit care into a busy life. Sessions can take place by video call or phone, and alternative options like live chat or text-based messaging provide additional flexibility for connecting between appointments. These formats help make consistent support more accessible across different schedules and life demands.
