Approaches that guide online care
Donna Ford integrates client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) into her online practice. Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening and building a respectful, empathetic relationship so clients feel understood and guided rather than directed - it helps with self-esteem, relationship concerns, and navigating life changes. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, making it effective for anxiety, depression, and stress-related issues. DBT teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills, which can be especially useful for managing intense emotions, anger, and patterns related to addictions and relationship conflict.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Donna works with clients to explore which techniques fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts strategies over time so therapy remains practical and relevant.
Online therapy offers flexibility in how clients connect - through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging - allowing busy schedules, mobility limitations, or geographic distance to be less of a barrier to care. These options make it possible for clients to engage with licensed professionals in ways that suit their daily lives while receiving consistent therapeutic support.
