Background and approach
With ten years of professional experience, Donna has worked in a range of settings including educational environments and community care. That background shaped her comfort speaking with parents and adults juggling caregiving responsibilities and life transitions. Her typical sessions blend Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused Therapy.
These approaches help people change unhelpful thoughts, find motivation for next steps, and set small, achievable goals. The mix is adjusted to match each person's needs and priorities. People who come to Donna often want practical tools for managing fear, mood, or stress.
She also offers coaching-style support for career questions and caregiving strain. The work aims to reduce overwhelm and build routines that make everyday life easier.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Donna commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors. CBT is practical and often includes homework tasks that build new habits and reduce anxiety or phobic reactions.She also draws on Motivational Interviewing to help clients find personal reasons for change. This approach supports people who feel stuck or unsure about next steps by strengthening internal motivation and clarifying values.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Donna will talk through goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before, then tailor methods to fit each person. That collaborative process helps make sessions useful from the start.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or a quick check-in is needed, live chat can fit short updates, and ongoing messaging supports people who prefer written communication. These formats make scheduling more flexible and help therapy fit into busy lives.
