About Donna
Donna Holden is a licensed marriage and family therapist who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, relationship strain, family struggles, parenting concerns, and depression. She brings 13 years of clinical experience to her work and speaks English for all sessions. Donna practices from Oklahoma and uses straightforward, practical approaches in conversations with clients.
Donna centers sessions on each person's needs and goals. She listens without judgment and helps clients identify realistic coping steps they can try between meetings.
Background and approach
For caregivers and parents, she emphasizes tools for daily routines, communication, and reducing overwhelm. Her work draws on client-centered methods that make space for what matters most to the client. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot unhelpful thinking and change behaviors that keep problems going.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy informs her work with close relationships by helping partners and family members name and respond to feelings more clearly. Donna aims for simple, measurable changes like clearer communication, fewer arguments, and better stress management. Sessions can include short skill practices and planning for how to try things at home.
She adapts pacing and techniques to each person's comfort and goals. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions. Therapy is delivered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging.
Subscription plans are used and can be canceled at any time.

How Donna’s Approaches Work Online
Donna draws on client-centered work that focuses on the client's experience and priorities. This approach means sessions begin with the client's concerns and goals, and the therapist follows the client's lead to build trust and understanding. It is useful when someone needs a respectful, listening space to sort out feelings.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is also part of her toolkit. CBT helps people notice patterns of thinking that make anxiety and stress worse, and then practice different ways of thinking and acting. It often includes short exercises and steps to try between meetings to track progress.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Donna will talk with the client about goals, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust based on what works. Clients and the therapist decide together which techniques feel most helpful.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is good for fuller conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is low or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat or text messaging can work for quick check-ins, brief skills practice, or when fitting a session into a busy day. These options offer flexibility for different schedules and life demands.
