How her approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small committed steps toward those values. It is often useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact and teaches practical techniques for changing unhelpful patterns. It is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and stress management. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and building a trusting relationship so clients can find their own solutions.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Donna will work collaboratively with each person to decide which combination of methods fits best based on goals and personal preferences. Together they will try tools and adjust the plan as needed so the work feels useful in daily life.

Confirm current session formats before booking, since this profile does not list specific options. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules demand it. It also lets people try different ways of working with a licensed professional and bring practical skills learned in sessions directly into everyday routines.
