How Donovan’s Approaches Work Online
Donovan blends Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Solution-Focused Therapy in online work. Client-Centered Therapy means he listens closely and follows the client’s lead, helping people feel heard and understood while deciding what to work on. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to reduce symptoms like anxiety and low mood. Solution-Focused Therapy keeps conversations goal-directed and practical, emphasizing steps people can try between sessions to move forward.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Donovan will talk with each person about their needs and goals and adjust methods over time. He aims to match tools to what feels workable for the client and to try different strategies until something fits.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls are useful for in-depth conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone needs a shorter check-in. Live chat and text messaging provide quick ways to touch base, track progress, or try brief problem-solving between longer sessions. These formats make it easier to fit counseling into a busy schedule and to keep consistent contact while working on anxiety, stress, grief, and life changes.
