How Donna’s Approaches Work Online
Donna commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety, depression, and stress. It is practical and goal-oriented, good for changing patterns that get in the way of daily life.She also practices Emotionally-Focused Therapy, which centers on understanding and reshaping emotional responses in relationships. EFT can help people notice and change interaction patterns that keep them disconnected or stuck.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences, then recommend using one method or combining elements from several. That decision is collaborative and can change as progress is made.
