Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each therapist lists and does not check training records.

Online support

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Donna uses Existential Therapy to help people examine meaning, freedom, and responsibility in their lives. This approach can help when someone feels empty, unsure about life purpose, or stuck in repetitive patterns. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is offered to teach skills for accepting difficult emotions while taking steps toward valued goals, which is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress. Client-Centered Therapy provides a warm, nonjudgmental space where the person leads the topics and the therapist follows with reflective listening and support.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Donna will discuss what feels most useful and will adapt methods to the person’s goals and preferences. This collaborative process helps shape session focus and homework between meetings.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people work face-to-face from different locations. Phone can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging allow brief check-ins, ongoing support, or flexible scheduling during busy days. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, family, or travel commitments while accessing the same conversational and skills-based work that happens in person.
