Background and approach
Sessions often focus on what a person can change now and how to build on existing strengths. Over 16 years of work he has helped people cope with shifting family roles, relationship strain, and feelings of isolation or emptiness. He pays attention to how patterns of thinking affect mood and behavior, and looks for simple, repeatable strategies that reduce distress.
Donovan listens for what a person already does well and suggests ways to expand those skills. People bring a wide range of problems, including bipolar symptoms, impulse control, communication problems, adoption and foster care questions, and forgiveness or guilt issues. He keeps the language plain and the next steps manageable so families and individuals can try ideas between sessions.
Donovan aims to meet people where they are. He works with each person to set clear, usable goals and tracks progress in ways that fit everyday life.
Approach-driven online therapy that fits your life
Donovan integrates client-centered work, cognitive behavioral techniques, and solution-focused strategies to guide online sessions. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person's perspective and priorities, with the therapist listening closely and reflecting back what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at how thoughts and behaviors influence mood and offers practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. Solution-Focused Therapy emphasizes small, concrete steps toward specific goals and quick wins that build momentum.Choosing an approach is a shared process. Donovan discusses options with each person and adjusts methods based on needs, goals, and preferences. He aims to create clear goals together and to pick strategies that fit the client's daily routines and energy levels.
Online sessions include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to offer flexibility. Video calls are useful for in-depth conversations and visual cues, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat can be a quicker check-in, and text messaging supports short updates or homework check-ins. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into work, school, or family schedules while keeping the focus on practical progress.
