Approaches that guide online therapy with Sarah Donovan



Sarah uses Client-Centered Therapy to create a supportive, non-directive space where the client’s own perspectives and goals lead the work. This approach helps people who need validation, improved self-understanding, and a stronger sense of autonomy when facing issues like low self-esteem, relationship concerns, or life changes.

She also employs Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT is practical and skills-oriented, and it often helps with anxiety, depression, stress, and patterns that interfere with daily functioning.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is another tool in her practice, offering concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. DBT can be especially useful for impulsivity, intense emotions, and relationship conflicts.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Sarah collaborates with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility for scheduling and the ability to participate from different locations. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, manage ongoing life commitments, and access a licensed professional in ways that match individual comfort and practical needs.
