Therapeutic Approaches That Translate Well to Online Care

Kimberly Donihue draws from evidence-informed approaches that can be effective in an online setting and tailored to concerns like stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, relationship strain, and life transitions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and habits, then practicing new ways of responding that better support day-to-day functioning. It is often useful when worry, low mood, or overwhelm starts to affect work, relationships, or self-esteem.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes practical skills for managing intense emotions, tolerating distress, and improving communication. It can be a helpful fit for people who feel stuck in reactive cycles or want more tools for staying grounded during conflict or high stress.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and ongoing relationship experiences shape needs for closeness, safety, and independence. It can support clients working through patterns in relationships, family dynamics, or intimacy-related concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Kimberly collaborates with clients to understand goals, preferences, and what is most pressing, then adjusts the plan over time as needs shift.

Online therapy also offers practical flexibility. Clients can choose video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to get support from home, during travel within the state, or around busy schedules.
