How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Donna often uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and try small, testable changes in behavior. CBT can be useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and coping with life transitions.

She also uses client-centered therapy, which focuses on listening closely and shaping the work around the person's values and pace. This approach helps people feel heard and involved in setting goals.

The therapist will collaborate with each person to find the right mix of methods. Together they will discuss goals, try approaches, and adjust as needed so the plan fits the client's needs and preferences.

Online sessions are available by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video works well for more in-depth conversations and skill coaching. Phone sessions can be a good fit when bandwidth is limited or a simpler check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging offer quick access and brief, flexible touchpoints during the week. These options make scheduling easier and allow people to choose what fits their daily life.
