About Donna
Donna Holden is an Oklahoma-licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) with 13 years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationships, family concerns, parenting, and depression. Donna also works with caregiver stress, communication problems, control issues, life purpose questions, and social anxiety.
She has worked with children and adolescents to build practical coping skills for stress and anxiety. Donna helps parents find clearer ways to handle parenting challenges and supports people trying to reduce daily overwhelm. Her background includes years of hands-on clinical work in family-related concerns.
Donna uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy alongside client-centered methods and cognitive behavioral techniques. In sessions she notices patterns of interaction and emotion, then helps clients name and shift those patterns. She also draws on existential ideas to help clients consider meaning and life direction when that becomes important.
Her style is straightforward and focused on what people can do between sessions. Conversations include skill-building, communication practice, and checking what actually changes week to week. She adapts the way she talks to fit each person's situation.
To start, Donna asks clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. The subscription model for sessions can be canceled at any time. Sessions are conducted in English and international clients are not accepted.
How her approaches translate to online work
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) looks at how feelings and interaction patterns affect relationships. In brief online sessions this means noticing repeated reactions and naming underlying emotions so clients can change how they respond. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters most to the client. Online conversations using this approach prioritize the client's concerns and pacing, so the therapist follows the client's lead while offering gentle structure.Finding the most helpful approach is a collaborative process. Donna will discuss your goals and preferences and suggest which methods to try first. Together you can adjust the approach as progress is made or priorities shift during therapy.
The original biography does not specify which session formats are provided. Please confirm the available online formats before booking. One practical benefit of online sessions is easier integration into a busy week - shorter check-ins can fit a work break, and avoiding travel saves time. Another advantage is that some people prefer audio-only sessions when bandwidth is limited or when they do not want to be on camera. Licensed professionals can use online work to make it simpler to keep regular appointments while focusing on real-life changes.
