Remote therapy and coaching options
Donna offers remote sessions using video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexible access to therapy and coaching. These formats are used to support traditional counseling goals as well as life coaching conversations for clients who prefer skill-building or guided discussion rather than ongoing psychotherapy.
She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in online work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy is described in practice as helping people clarify personal values and take actions consistent with those values while learning to notice difficult thoughts. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking patterns and behavioral habits, with practical strategies and collaborative homework when appropriate.
Motivational Interviewing and narrative techniques are also part of her toolkit and may be used to explore motivation for change and to reframe personal stories. Donna emphasizes a collaborative fit, working with clients to choose which approaches and remote formats best suit their needs through video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging.
