Therapeutic Approaches That Translate Well to Online Sessions
Donna San Salvador, LMHC, draws from approaches that can be applied effectively in online therapy. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on building a supportive working relationship where the client’s perspective and pace guide the process. This can be especially helpful for people navigating anxiety, grief, identity concerns, or major life transitions who want a steady, respectful space to sort through what they are feeling.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps connect thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, and can be useful for challenges like stress, anxiety, depression, and anger. It often includes practical skill-building and structured strategies that clients can practice between sessions. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) is often used with couples and individuals to better understand emotional patterns, strengthen connection, and shift cycles that keep conflict going.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Donna collaborates with clients to understand goals, preferences, and what has or has not worked before, then adjusts the work accordingly over time.
Online therapy also offers flexibility in how support happens, whether through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options can make it easier to stay consistent with therapy while balancing work, school, parenting, or changing schedules.How much experience does Donna San Salvador have?
