Client-centered care and practical strategies delivered online
Anna McDonald draws on client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) to support people facing a range of life challenges. Client-centered therapy focuses on building a trusting, empathetic relationship and centers the client's values and goals to guide change. It is useful for people seeking understanding, validation, and a supportive space to explore their priorities.CBT emphasizes identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, offering concrete tools to reduce symptoms of stress, anxiety, and depression and to improve daily functioning. DBT blends skills training in emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can be helpful for managing intense emotions and improving relationships.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Anna works collaboratively with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. Online therapy options such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, offer greater scheduling flexibility, and expand access to licensed professionals and therapists who can support change from wherever the client is.
