About Donda
Donda Roach is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Oklahoma with 14 years of experience working with adults. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, grief, depression, addictions, intimacy-related issues, sleep problems, self-esteem, and coping with life changes. She also supports people dealing with attachment and abandonment issues, adoption and foster care questions, caregiver stress, and other related concerns.
Donda uses a client-centered approach that looks at what matters most to the person in front of her. She draws on cognitive behavioral methods to identify unhelpful thoughts and habits. She also uses solution-focused techniques to set clear, practical steps and motivational interviewing to help people find their own reasons for change.
Sessions are straightforward and goal-oriented. She listens to how family roles and early patterns keep showing up now. Together she and the client map small changes that can reduce distress and improve daily functioning.
Her style emphasizes building skills you can use between sessions. That can include ways to manage anxiety, change sleeping routines, or handle relationship conversations more calmly. She blends discussion with exercises and concrete strategies so progress is measurable.
Donda has worked in Oklahoma settings for over a decade and brings that local knowledge to her practice. She uses plain language and practical steps in sessions, helping people move from repeating old patterns toward clearer choices and better coping.
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the client's priorities and perspective. In sessions the therapist listens closely, reflects what she hears, and helps the person identify what matters most. This approach works well for exploring how family roles and early patterns still shape current choices.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Sessions include identifying unhelpful thinking, testing new behaviors, and practicing skills to reduce anxiety, improve sleep, or change relationship reactions. CBT is action-oriented and aims to produce measurable changes between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit best based on goals and preferences. That collaborative process can include trying different techniques and adjusting plans as needed.
Confirm current session options before booking so you know which formats are offered. Online sessions can make it easier to schedule appointments around work or caregiving, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Talk with the therapist during the initial steps to arrange a format that fits your day-to-day life.
