About Donna
Donna Holden is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) based in Oklahoma. She brings 13 years of clinical experience to sessions and focuses on practical steps parents and caregivers can use right away.
Background and approach
Donna works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, family concerns, and parenting challenges. She centers sessions on clear, direct conversation and aims to make therapy easy to understand.
Donna uses Client-Centered Therapy to follow each person's priorities and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help change unhelpful thoughts and habits. She also draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy and Existential Therapy when exploring feelings and life purpose.
In practice she helps people build coping skills for stress and anxiety. She supports parents who are worn out from caregiving and people struggling with communication or control issues.
She also works with those facing social anxiety and phobia who want manageable steps to feel more connected. Donna adapts her approach to each person’s situation.
Sessions focus on goals you set together and on usable tools you can try between visits. She aims to be respectful and straightforward while tailoring plans to what you need most.
Starting therapy is often hard. Donna encourages small first steps and helps people move forward at a pace that feels doable.
Her style is practical, compassionate, and focused on real-life results.
How therapeutic approaches work online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following what matters most to the person. Online sessions using this approach let the therapist shape conversations around your priorities and pace, which helps when working through family or parenting concerns.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, behaviors, and feelings. In video or phone sessions CBT is used to spot unhelpful thinking, practice small behavior changes, and set short exercises between meetings to reduce stress and anxiety.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with you to decide which methods fit your goals and preferences. That decision is revisited as needs change so the plan stays useful and practical.
Online therapy offers flexibility in how you connect. Video calls are good for face-to-face conversation and visual feedback. Phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging make it easier to fit support into busy days and to record notes you can review later. These options help people keep therapy steady while managing family, work, and caregiving demands.
