About Donda

Donda Roach is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Oklahoma who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, addictions, relationship and intimacy-related concerns, sleep problems, self-esteem, and coping with life changes.

Background and approach

With 14 years of clinical experience, she guides clients through practical strategies and reflective work to move from crisis or stuck patterns toward clearer goals and improved day-to-day functioning.

Her practice also addresses a broad range of related concerns such as attachment and abandonment issues, blended family dynamics, caregiver stress, body image and codependency, and challenges tied to adoption and aging. Her style blends client-centered listening with solution-focused planning, drawing on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help identify unhelpful thoughts and build new coping skills.

She incorporates motivational interviewing when exploring readiness for change and emphasizes clients' existing strengths as the foundation for growth. Donda frames therapy as a collaborative process in which the client is the expert on their life and the clinician offers tools, structure, and support to foster meaningful progress.

How Donda Integrates Practical Approaches in Online Therapy

Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening and building a collaborative relationship where the client's perspective guides the work; this approach is useful for people seeking a supportive space to explore life changes and personal goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, offering concrete tools for managing anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and stress. Motivational interviewing is used when ambivalence about change arises, helping clients clarify their own reasons for change and strengthen commitment.

Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. The therapist works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, adapting techniques over time as progress and circumstances evolve. This means clients can expect a tailored plan rather than a one-size-fits-all protocol.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which provide flexibility for scheduling and for communicating in the format that feels most comfortable. These remote formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care around work, family, or geographic constraints while accessing licensed professionals who use structured, evidence-informed approaches.
