She helps people who struggle with stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, parenting concerns, anger, and depression.

How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Donna draws from Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to guide online sessions. Client-Centered Therapy means conversations focus on what the client brings and the therapist listens closely to understand their priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people identify thought patterns that lead to stress and try different behaviors to see what works.She also uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy when relationship feelings and patterns are central. EFT helps name emotions and track how interaction patterns keep problems going, which can be useful when a person wants clearer ways to respond in relationships. Together these approaches address both immediate coping and longer-term pattern change.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Donna will collaborate with each person to choose which methods to use based on goals and what feels most helpful. That choice can shift over time as needs change.
Session formats are not detailed in the original biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy life, require less travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Licensed professionals can use these formats to help people practice new skills and try changes between meetings without promising a specific delivery method.
