Practical, Online Support Grounded in Evidence-Based Therapy

Donna Kaufman draws from approaches that help clients better understand what they are going through and build workable skills for everyday life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on noticing patterns in thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, then practicing new ways of responding that support goals like reduced anxiety, improved self-esteem, or healthier relationship choices.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) adds structured tools for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can be especially helpful when feelings become intense or situations feel overwhelming. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) emphasizes making room for difficult internal experiences while taking steps aligned with personal values, supporting clients who feel stuck or are adjusting to major life changes.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Donna collaborates with clients to clarify priorities and tailor sessions to individual needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting strategies over time as circumstances shift.

Online therapy offers flexibility without sacrificing consistency. Clients can connect through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, maintain momentum between sessions, and access support from a comfortable, familiar environment.
