Therapeutic approaches and online sessions with Donna Watts
Donna draws on Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to support change in ways that suit each person. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and can be useful for people with attachment issues, difficulties in close relationships, or feelings of abandonment. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on providing empathic, nonjudgmental listening and encouragement so clients can find their own solutions and build self esteem. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) works with thoughts and behaviors in practical ways to reduce symptoms of stress, anxiety, and unhelpful coping strategies.Finding the best approach is part of the therapeutic work. Donna collaborates with clients to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences and adapts the process as therapy progresses to ensure the approach remains appropriate and effective for the individual.
Online therapy offers flexible access to care through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, to work from comfortable locations, and to maintain continuity of support across distances, while still engaging in meaningful, goal-focused therapeutic work with a licensed professional.
