About Donda
Donda Roach is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, and struggles with addiction. She supports people dealing with sleep problems, low self-esteem, and major life changes. Her work also reaches concerns tied to family roles, caregiving stress, and blended household challenges.
She uses a practical, person-focused style. Conversations are guided by what matters most to the client. Sessions focus on small, achievable steps and building usable skills for daily life.
Background and approach
Her approach draws on Client-Centered Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy, with tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing. That mix helps people shift unhelpful thoughts, set clear goals, and find motivation to change. The emphasis is on what works now and next, not on long theoretical talks.
With 14 years of clinical experience in Oklahoma, she brings steady, calm support. She helps people identify patterns that cause pain and then practice new ways of responding. The pace and focus are adjusted to each person’s needs.
Sessions can include talking through problems, practicing coping skills, and making clear action plans. The aim is practical progress: better sleep, clearer communication, reduced anxiety, or stronger self-worth. Work continues until the client feels equipped to move forward.
Therapeutic approaches and online sessions that fit your life
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the client’s perspective and priorities. The therapist listens closely, reflects what she hears, and helps people name their goals and values. This approach works well for people who want a supportive space to sort out feelings and decide what matters next.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions. Sessions include simple exercises to test unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. CBT often helps with anxiety, low mood, sleep troubles, and patterns that keep problems going.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist works together with each person to decide whether a client-centered conversation, CBT techniques, or motivational strategies are the best fit. Goals, preferences, and daily life shape that choice, and the plan can change as progress happens.
Online therapy offers several practical options: video calls for a face-to-face conversation, phone sessions when bandwidth or camera use is limited, and live chat or text messaging for quick check-ins or shorter exchanges. These formats make it easier to fit sessions around work, caregiving, or other commitments while keeping the focus on steady, useful progress.
