Therapeutic Approaches and Care Delivered Online
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and learn practical skills to manage symptoms like anxiety, stress, or low mood. It is structured and goal-oriented, useful for everyday coping and problem solving. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on patterns in close relationships, helping partners and family members understand and soothe emotional responses to improve connection and communication. The Gottman Method provides tools for repairing relationship interactions and strengthening friendship, trust, and conflict management in couples work.
Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Donna collaborates with clients to determine which methods best align with their needs, goals, and preferences, adapting techniques over time so therapy remains relevant and effective for each person or family.
