Online care and clinical approaches
Donna offers several documented methods adapted for remote work. She is EMDR certified; EMDR is described as a structured approach that guides the processing of distressing memories through bilateral stimulation and focused processing. As a Certified Humanistic Sand Tray Therapist she also brings a symbolic, experiential toolset that can be adapted for online sessions to explore internal themes and relational dynamics.
Her background includes executive and professional coaching as well as training in batterers intervention and domestic violence counseling, which informs a pragmatic, skills-based strand of work when appropriate. In online sessions she aims to collaborate with clients who prefer an interactive, exploratory process that blends trauma-focused techniques, expressive modalities, and coaching elements.
Remote appointments are available by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options allow for synchronous and asynchronous contact to fit different communication preferences while maintaining a consistent therapeutic plan.
