CBT and online care that fit your schedule

Donna uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and test practical behavior changes. CBT focuses on small experiments and homework so people can see what shifts their mood and stress levels. It is often used for anxiety, depression, grief, and adjusting after trauma.

Finding the best way to work together is a shared process. Donna collaborates with clients to choose approaches and tools that match their goals and daily life. She checks in and adjusts plans based on what is helping and what feels realistic.

Online sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video calls let people have a conversation that feels most like an in-person visit. Phone sessions can use less bandwidth and can be a quicker option for a limited time in a busy day. Live chat and text messaging work well for brief check-ins, progress updates, or skill reminders between longer sessions. These options help people fit therapy into work, family, or caregiving schedules while keeping the focus on practical steps and steady progress.
