About Donna
Donna Khan is an LMSW - Licensed Master Social Worker in Michigan with 31 years of experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, and parenting strain. She also supports those facing trauma, attachment questions, and career or life changes.
She has worked in inpatient medical social work and outpatient clinic settings. That mix gives her practice experience with medical, emotional, and practical problems. Sessions focus on building skills and workable strategies that fit daily life.
Donna uses approaches that include Emotionally-Focused Therapy, attachment-based ideas, client-centered work, cognitive behavioral techniques, and dialectical behavior therapy skills. In conversation she helps people name difficult emotions, untangle relationship patterns, and practice new ways of responding. She lays out concrete steps and skills rather than only talking about feelings.
Her background includes long-term social work practice since graduating from Wayne State University with a bachelor’s and master’s in social work in 1994. That training and experience inform how she frames problems and recommends practical tools. She draws on strength-based and solution-focused ideas when problem solving with clients.
Donna says reaching out is often the first step toward change. People who work with her can expect direct, practical guidance, goal-oriented skill building, and attention to attachment and emotion in relationships. International clients may be supported; sessions are conducted in English.
How her approaches translate to online work
Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people name and track strong emotions and attachment patterns within relationships. It is often used when emotions are hard to name or when relationship cycles repeat. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early connection patterns shape current relationships and helps people notice and shift those patterns. Client-Centered Therapy centers the conversation on the person’s concerns, emphasizing listening and building goals together.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels useful. Together they decide whether to emphasize EFT, attachment ideas, CBT skills or DBT techniques depending on the issue and progress.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into busy days, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also lets people keep therapy in their regular routines while practicing skills between meetings. Licensed professionals typically adapt exercises, emotion-focused conversations, and skills training to an online setting so the work can continue even when meeting remotely.
