How her approaches translate to online care

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening to the person and making their goals central. Online sessions let LaDonna follow the client’s lead, talk through what matters most, and build plans that fit daily life. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. In video or phone sessions she guides clients through practical exercises and homework that can be practiced between meetings. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people name emotions and reshape interaction patterns in relationships, which can be explored by partners or individuals through guided conversations.

Choosing the right approach is usually a joint decision. LaDonna works with each person to pick methods that match their needs, goals, and comfort level. She checks in regularly and adapts the plan if something isn’t working, keeping the process collaborative and transparent.

Online therapy offers flexibility for those juggling work, family, or mobility limits. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and shared screen work for exercises. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier during a short break. Live chat or text-based messaging can suit quick check-ins, brief coaching, or people who prefer writing. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy life while still focusing on meaningful change.
