Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Donna describes her work as practical and evidence-based, using approaches that help people break problems into manageable steps. One common technique focuses on building skills for mood and behavior change through structured tasks and short-term goals; this helps with depression, motivation, and sleep problems. Another approach centers on processing loss and trauma with guided conversations that allow a person to name what happened and practice coping strategies for grief and post-traumatic stress.Figuring out which approach fits best is part of the work. She collaborates with each person to match methods to goals and preferences, adjusting if something isn’t helping. The client and therapist decide together what to try and when to change direction.
Practical benefits of online work include easier fitting of sessions into a busy week, fewer travel hours, and options for shorter check-ins when time is limited.
