Approaches Used in Online Therapy with Sarah Donovan

Sarah Donovan integrates client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) into her online practice. Client-centered therapy focuses on creating an accepting, respectful relationship where the individualâs experiences guide the work; it helps people feel heard and build self-understanding. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to shift unhelpful patterns, often helpful for anxiety, depression, and stress. Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) combines acceptance and change strategies and offers concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving interpersonal effectiveness.

Finding the best therapeutic approach is a collaborative part of the process. Sarah works with each person to evaluate goals, preferences, and current needs, and she adapts the plan over time so the methods used make sense for the individual.

Online sessions with a licensed professional can be scheduled as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to match different lifestyles and comfort levels. These options offer flexibility for people balancing work, family, or other commitments and make it easier to keep continuity in therapy even when schedules or locations change.
