Background and approach
In session she combines client-centered listening with cognitive behavioral strategies and solution-focused planning. That means she listens first, helps identify unhelpful thinking patterns, and then works with clients to set realistic, measurable goals. Mindfulness tools are offered when helpful to manage stress and sleeplessness.
Ladonna has worked with people in many different roles, including first responders, law enforcement officers, college students, parents, teachers, and retirees. She brings two decades of experience to typical life transitions such as divorce, career stress, caregiver strain, and grief. Her approach suits people who want clear techniques and steady support.
She talks through practical coping skills for anger, relationship strain, addiction concerns, and compassion fatigue. Sessions aim to build skills that fit a person's daily life. Located in Florida, she provides online and phone-based options for therapy.
People who prefer a collaborative, action-oriented therapist will find her approach direct but compassionate.
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely and meeting people where they are. The therapist follows the client's lead, shows empathy, and helps clarify what the client wants to change. This approach is useful for people feeling stuck, lonely, or unsure where to begin.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts affect feelings and actions. Sessions teach simple tools to spot unhelpful thinking and try new behaviors. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and challenges like ADHD where structure helps.
Finding the right approach is part of the work and the therapist will collaborate with the client to choose methods that fit their goals and preferences. Together they set clear, achievable steps and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is good for deeper conversation and nonverbal cues, phone calls work when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging can be used for quick check-ins or shorter sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving, or unpredictable schedules while keeping the focus on practical strategies and steady support.
