About Donna

Donna Holden is an Oklahoma licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) with 13 years of clinical experience. She focuses on family and parenting concerns and supports people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship challenges. Donna speaks plainly and aims to make the first step feel manageable for a worried parent.

Donna uses a mix of practical approaches in session. She helps parents and caregivers build coping skills for children and adolescents who feel overwhelmed by anxiety or stress. She also works with individuals and partners on communication and problem solving to reduce conflict at home.

Her style centers on respect, sensitivity, and compassion. Sessions typically begin by listening to what matters most to you, then shaping a plan that fits your situation. She adapts conversation and strategies to each person or family rather than following a one-size-fits-all script.

Donna brings experience supporting people through caregiver strain, control struggles, questions of life purpose, social anxiety, and phobias. She blends client-centered techniques with cognitive and emotion-focused work to help clients build new ways of coping and relating.

For parents worried about behavior, routines, or family tensions, she offers straightforward tools and communication practice. She encourages gradual changes that can fit into busy family life and that people can try between sessions.

How these approaches shape online therapy work

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and responding to each person's experience. It emphasizes building a trusting relationship, reflecting what you say, and shaping goals together to fit your family life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches concrete skills to reduce anxiety and change unhelpful patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Donna will collaborate with you to choose methods that match your needs and goals. That conversation can include trying one approach first and adjusting as you notice what helps most in day-to-day life.

Session formats are not listed here in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. In general, working with a licensed professional online can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Online sessions also let people use strategies learned in real time at home, and they can be scheduled to match work, school, or caregiving rhythms.
