Therapeutic approaches for online care

Donna Khan draws from several evidence-informed approaches to tailor care to each person's needs. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationships shape current patterns of closeness and trust and can help people working through abandonment, attachment issues, or difficulties in close relationships. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the clientâs own goals and strengths, offering nonjudgmental support and helping individuals find their own solutions to stress, life transitions, and self-esteem concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical strategies to identify and reframe unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with change.

Finding the right approach is part of the process and Donna collaborates with each person to determine what fits best based on their needs, goals, and preferences. She adjusts methods over time so therapy responds to what is working for the client.

Online therapy offers flexibility and easier access to consistent care. Through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, clients can schedule sessions that fit work, family, and travel demands and maintain continuity when life circumstances shift. Licensed professionals, including therapists like Donna, use these formats to provide focused, practical support and skills-building across a range of concerns.
