About Donda
Donda Roach is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Oklahoma with 14 years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, grief, depression, addictions, intimacy-related issues, sleep problems, self-esteem struggles, and coping with life changes. She also addresses concerns related to abandonment, adoption and foster care, attachment issues, caregiver stress, codependency, and body image.
She describes a practical approach that centers the person rather than a label. Sessions focus on identifying what feels most urgent and building clear steps to address those problems. Donda draws on Client-Centered Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy to keep conversations focused and useful.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques are woven into sessions to help people notice patterns in thinking and behavior that keep problems going. Motivational Interviewing is used when someone wants to find internal reasons to change and needs help resolving mixed feelings. The work aims to create small, manageable shifts rather than sudden transformations.
She favors straightforward collaboration: listening, offering options, and practicing skills together in session. Homework and short experiments between meetings are common to test what works in daily life. Donda frames the client as the expert on their own life and helps develop tools to move forward.
Her style emphasizes short-term problem solving alongside deeper work on attachment and past losses when that is helpful. People looking to address guilt or shame tied to relationships, family roles, or past choices may find her methods applicable. Sessions are conducted in English in Oklahoma.
How Donda adapts therapeutic approaches for online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the client’s priorities. In practice this means the therapist reflects what she hears, helps clarify goals, and builds a plan based on the person’s own values. It is useful when someone needs space to make sense of feelings like guilt or shame.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks down how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact. Online sessions use clear, short exercises to identify unhelpful thought patterns and to try small behavioral experiments between meetings. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and persistent self-critical thinking.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. Donda will collaborate with each person to decide which approaches to use based on their goals and preferences. That means trying an approach for a few sessions and adjusting if it isn’t helping the client’s immediate concerns.
Confirm the available session formats before booking since the biography does not list specific formats. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a weekday break or to do brief check-ins without commuting. It also allows practicing new skills in real time between sessions and using written exercises that can be reviewed together in the next meeting.
