About Donna
Donna Holden is a licensed marriage and family therapist with 13 years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationships, parenting, and depression. Her approach is warm and practical, aimed at helping people find manageable ways to feel better at home and in daily life.
Donna draws on client-centered methods to listen closely and shape sessions around each person's needs. She also uses cognitive behavioral ideas to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors.
Background and approach
Emotionally-focused work helps with communication and rebuilding connection when relationships feel strained. She has a history of helping parents and caregivers develop coping skills for stress and the demands of caregiving. She also works with people facing social anxiety and specific phobias, using short-term strategies to reduce avoidance and improve confidence in social settings.
Donna describes her style as respectful and compassionate. She tailors conversations and plans to what each person brings, focusing on concrete steps between sessions. Many clients come for help with parenting challenges, family conflict, or the daily weight of anxiety and depression.
Her office is in Oklahoma and she offers sessions by phone, video calls, live chat, and text-based messaging. To begin, a person completes a short matching questionnaire and schedules based on the therapist's availability. The subscription used for sessions can be canceled at any time.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Donna uses client-centered therapy to prioritize each person's perspective and goals, creating a conversation that follows what matters most to the client. This approach helps when someone needs a safe place to talk and to have a plan shaped around their life. Cognitive behavioral therapy is used to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can reduce anxiety and improve daily functioning.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Donna will collaborate with each person to decide which methods to try first, adjusting strategies based on needs, goals, and how someone responds to treatment. The process is practical and interactive, with regular check-ins to refine the plan together.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can fit into a busy day or require less bandwidth, and chat or messaging can work well for brief check-ins or when someone prefers writing. These options help people access therapy from different places and schedules while keeping the focus on real, usable change.
