Donna also draws on ideas from Jungian and existential perspectives to help people clarify life purpose and values.

Therapeutic approaches that translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely to the person and following their lead. It helps people feel heard and build confidence to solve problems and make changes. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) looks at emotions in close relationships and helps people identify and shift patterns that cause pain or distance. It can be useful for anyone wanting to better understand strong feelings and how they show up in relationships.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Donna will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. She checks in about what feels helpful and adjusts the plan as therapy progresses.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people see facial expressions and work in more depth, while phone calls need less bandwidth and can fit into a busy day. Live chat or messaging are useful for brief check-ins, ongoing coaching, and keeping momentum between longer sessions. These options make it easier to schedule regular contact and keep therapy consistent even with changing routines.
