Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care with Donna Maso
Donna Maso draws on Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) when working with clients online. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathic listening and building on a person’s own strengths and goals, which can be especially helpful for relationship issues, grief, parenting concerns and finding life purpose. CBT focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through practical strategies, often applied to anger, communication problems, codependency and patterns that interfere with daily functioning. DBT teaches concrete skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance and interpersonal effectiveness and can be useful for impulsivity, intense emotions and conflicts within relationships.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process; Donna collaborates with each client to explore goals, preferences and the presenting concerns to determine which methods or combination of methods will work best. Online sessions can be scheduled by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for busy schedules, caregiving responsibilities, limited mobility or those who prefer remote options. These formats make ongoing therapy more accessible, support skill practice between sessions, and allow licensed professionals and therapists to maintain regular contact while adapting to each person’s needs.
