About Donda
Donda Roach is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 14 years of practice in Oklahoma. She helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, and changes that upset daily life. Her work also covers addiction, sleep struggles, and self-esteem issues.
Donda uses plain, practical conversations to help clients set small, useful goals. She listens first and then helps people spot patterns that keep them stuck. Sessions focus on skills people can try between meetings to feel more in control.
Background and approach
Her approach draws on client-centered care and solution-focused techniques. That means she emphasizes a person’s strengths and works toward clear, achievable steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy ideas are also part of the work when changing thoughts and behaviors is helpful.
Donda has helped people navigate losses, adoption and foster care concerns, abandonment, and caregiving strain. She also supports those coping with attachment or personality challenges and with blended family or communication problems. She explains options and tailors the plan to each person’s situation.
Sessions are offered in English and available by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. She uses straightforward language and practical tools so people can test new skills between sessions. The aim is to turn hard moments into manageable steps and clearer choices.
How her approaches work online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person’s own goals and strengths. In practice this means the therapist listens closely, reflects what she hears, and helps people choose steps that feel doable. This approach helps when someone needs understanding and a plan that fits their life.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact. Online sessions use CBT to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and practice small behavior changes that reduce anxiety or improve sleep. Motivational Interviewing supports people who feel conflicted about change by exploring their own reasons and building motivation.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will ask about priorities, try things out, and adjust methods based on what helps most. That collaborative process puts the client’s needs and preferences first.
Online formats like video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video allows face-to-face conversation, phone can be a simpler check-in with less bandwidth, live chat works for shorter exchanges, and messaging is helpful for ongoing reflection between sessions. These options offer flexibility so people can keep progress moving even with a full schedule.
