About Ladonna
She uses client-centered methods that focus on each person's goals and values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is part of her work when clients want to change thoughts and habits that add stress or worsen mood. She also draws on solution-focused ideas to identify small, concrete steps people can try between sessions.
Her background includes work with adults from many different roles and careers. This variety shaped a straightforward, practical way of talking through problems like work stress, relationship trouble, grief, and changes that happen in midlife. She aims to help clients notice what is working and build on it.
Sessions often emphasize skills people can use right away, such as breathing and mindfulness practices for anxiety and better sleep. Conversations also address patterns around anger, addiction, or low self-esteem. Ladonna praises effort and highlights progress so clients can keep moving forward.
She earned her degree at Rollins College and holds the Florida LMHC credential. People who want to begin are asked to use the site Start Therapy flow to match and schedule according to availability.

How client-centered and CBT approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following a person's lead so goals feel relevant and manageable. In practice this means the therapist reflects concerns, asks about priorities, and helps clarify what a person wants to change or keep.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It breaks problems into steps and teaches practical skills for anxiety, mood, sleep, and coping with life changes. Sessions often include short exercises to try between meetings.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist collaborates with each person to pick methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That plan can change as progress is made and new priorities appear.
Session format options are not listed in the biography, so confirm the current session formats before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow short check-ins when schedules are tight. It also makes it simpler to practice skills in everyday routines and to bring immediate questions back to the next meeting.
