About Donna
Donna aims to create an accepting, respectful space where people can speak honestly about what matters to them. She listens closely and tailors sessions to each person's needs. In session she draws on approaches that center the client, focus on emotions, and address thinking patterns that keep problems going.
Her work blends Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), Existential ideas, and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). That means she may help a person name hard feelings, notice habits of thought, practice new ways of relating, or use guided processing for traumatic memories when appropriate.
Donna describes herself as engaged and compassionate. She meets people where they are and works with them to set clear goals. Her practical focus is on day-to-day coping, improving communication, rebuilding trust after hurts, and helping someone move toward a more stable routine.

Approaches that translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on helping people feel understood and supported. In practice this means the therapist listens deeply, reflects what is said, and helps the person set their own goals for change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at connections between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses simple tools and exercises to test unhelpful thinking and build new habits for anxiety, depression, and stress.Finding the best approach is part of the work together. Donna will discuss what feels most useful and adapt methods to a client's goals, history, and preferences. That collaboration helps shape whether sessions focus more on emotions, practical skill-building, or processing traumatic memories.
The original biography did not list specific session formats, so please confirm current online options before booking. Online therapy can help fit appointments into a busy life by reducing travel time, making it easier to schedule shorter check-ins, and allowing sessions during breaks from work or caregiving. Many people find virtual sessions make it simpler to maintain consistency while working on coping skills, communication, and progress toward goals.
