Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care with Donna Khan

Donna Khan integrates several evidence-informed approaches into online work to meet different needs. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early and current relationships shape emotional responses and can help clients strengthen connection and repair relational patterns. Client-Centered Therapy centers the client's experience, using empathy and collaboration to support self-directed growth and problem solving. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) identifies unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and teaches practical techniques to manage symptoms and build coping skills.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Donna will discuss goals, preferences, and the challenges a client brings to determine which methods are the best fit, and she adapts strategies over time based on progress and feedback.

Online therapy with Donna is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, providing flexibility for busy schedules, mobility limitations, or geographic distance. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care and to access a licensed professional from locations where in-person care may not be available.
