Her approach integrates evidence-based methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy techniques, tailoring interventions to the concerns presented.

Evidence-Informed Therapies for Online Care
Donna uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop practical strategies for changing behaviors and improving mood. CBT is often helpful for stress, anxiety, and depressive symptoms by focusing on links between thoughts, feelings, and actions.She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which emphasizes accepting difficult internal experiences while clarifying personal values and committed action toward meaningful goals. ACT can support people who want to increase psychological flexibility and move forward despite uncomfortable emotions.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting techniques over time as progress unfolds.
Online sessions are available by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for varying schedules and lifestyles. These formats make it easier to maintain consistent care from different locations and allow clients to select the interaction style that feels most comfortable for them.
