Approaches That Translate Well to Online Therapy
Donetta commonly integrates Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) into her online practice. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on honoring the client's perspective and building on strengths to increase self-esteem and clarity about life direction. It is useful for relationship concerns, self-worth, and general life transitions.CBT helps identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, offering practical strategies to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and change patterns that maintain stress or addictive behaviors. DBT emphasizes skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving interpersonal effectiveness, which can be especially helpful for impulsivity, intense emotions, and communication problems.
Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work itself - Donetta collaborates with each person to determine which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. Online formats - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - offer flexible ways to engage in therapy, making it easier to maintain continuity, fit sessions into busy schedules, and access consistent support from licensed professionals and therapists regardless of local constraints.
