CBT and online tools to manage anxiety and stress
Donna uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT involves breaking problems into small parts, testing new ways of thinking, and practicing different actions to ease symptoms like anxiety, depression, and grief. This approach often includes simple exercises to try between sessions to build momentum.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to match goals and preferences to practical techniques. Together they adjust strategies as progress is made so the plan stays useful and realistic.
Online sessions are offered by phone, video call, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy fit into busy lives. Video calls let people meet face-to-face for deeper conversation, while phone sessions can be easier when internet bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text exchanges are useful for brief check-ins, quick skill practice, or when typing feels more comfortable. These options make it easier to keep up with sessions around work, parenting, or other responsibilities.
