About Donna
Donna Holden is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in Oklahoma with 13 years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship and parenting concerns, and also helps people facing depression, caregiver strain, communication problems, control issues, social anxiety, and questions about life purpose.
She has a background working with children and adolescents on coping skills for stress and anxiety, and she offers support for parents who want clearer approaches to discipline and emotional coaching. Donna also works with people who want to improve how they talk through conflict and rebuild connection after repeated arguments.
In sessions she uses Client-Centered methods to listen closely and follow the concerns the person brings. She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify patterns of thinking and behavior that keep stress and worry going. Emotionally-Focused Therapy techniques are used when relationship patterns and attachment needs are the focus.
Donna describes herself as respectful and sensitive in her work. She adapts conversations and plans to the specific circumstances each person brings. That can mean practical skill-building, communication practice, or a focus on values and meaning when life purpose is a concern.

How Donna uses therapy approaches online
Donna integrates Client-Centered Therapy to listen and reflect what matters most to the person. This approach focuses on understanding concerns and helping the person lead the topics they want to address, which can be useful for questions about life purpose and direction.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and to practice practical skills that reduce anxiety and stress. CBT work often includes simple exercises between sessions to test new ways of thinking and acting.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, then adapt techniques from different methods to fit the client's needs in a collaborative way.
