Integrating therapeutic approaches in online therapy
Donna draws on Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to tailor work to each person’s needs. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at early relationship patterns and how they influence current emotional responses and connections with others; it can help with relationship difficulties and issues linked to abandonment or attachment. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on empathic, nonjudgmental listening and supports clients in finding their own answers, which is particularly helpful for building self-esteem and processing difficult feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers structured techniques to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, providing practical tools for anxiety, stress, and coping with urges related to addiction.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Donna works collaboratively with clients to explore which methods feel most helpful, adjusting the approach as goals and needs evolve so therapy remains focused and relevant.
Online sessions by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to access support from different locations. These options provide flexibility in scheduling, allow clients to choose the format that feels most comfortable, and enable consistent ongoing work with a registered professional regardless of geography.
