About Rhoda
Rhoda Anang has practiced as a licensed professional counselor in Oklahoma for 11 years, with extensive work supporting adolescents in acute psychiatric settings as well as experience with adults and older adults.
Background and approach
Her background includes delivering individual, group, and family therapy to young people aged roughly 12 to 17 and sometimes younger, alongside prior work with clients across the lifespan who faced depression, anxiety, trauma, relationship and parenting challenges, and consequences of emotional or physical abuse.
Her counseling style is interactive, receptive, and open-minded, grounded in respect for each person’s background and needs. She was trained primarily in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and frequently integrates other evidence-based methods such as client-centered techniques, motivational interviewing, solution-focused strategies, and trauma-focused work to tailor care.
Rhoda emphasizes cultural sensitivity and practical support, drawing on tools and resources to help clients make meaningful changes. Rhoda communicates in English and Hausa and maintains a collaborative approach that centers clients’ goals.
She invites people ready to explore coping with stress, mood concerns, grief, identity and relationship issues, or the aftermath of trauma to consider working together.
Practical approaches for online healing and skill building
Rhoda draws on cognitive behavioral therapy to help clients identify patterns of thought and behavior that contribute to mood and anxiety difficulties, teaching skills for shifting unhelpful thoughts and building more adaptive coping. She also uses client-centered techniques to create a supportive, empathic environment where clients’ perspectives and goals guide the work, which can be especially helpful when processing grief, identity concerns, or relational issues. Additionally, motivational interviewing may be used to explore ambivalence and strengthen motivation for change when clients face difficult transitions or behavioral goals.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process; Rhoda collaborates with each person to determine which combination of methods fits their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors interventions over time, blending structured skill work with open, validating conversation so the plan stays relevant as challenges evolve.
Online formats - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to connect from different locations within Oklahoma. These options offer flexibility for follow-up check-ins, skills practice between sessions, and varied ways to communicate that match a client’s comfort and lifestyle.
