About Donna

Donna Holden is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) based in Oklahoma. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship strain. Donna uses straightforward conversation to find practical ways forward with parenting and family concerns.

With 13 years of clinical experience, she combines existential ideas about meaning with client-centered listening. That means she asks questions about values and purpose while keeping the person’s immediate needs in view.

Background and approach

She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to break unhelpful thinking patterns and emotionally-focused work to improve communication during heated moments. Sessions tend to center on clear goals. Donna helps people identify coping skills for anxiety and stress.

She also works through communication problems and control issues in relationships, and supports caregivers facing ongoing strain. Parents will find short, practical strategies as well as time to talk through longer relationship patterns. Donna frames progress as small, steady changes rather than sudden fixes.

She adapts pace and tools to each person’s needs and everyday life. If someone is unsure where to start, she helps them narrow a goal and build simple steps toward it. Her approach is direct, compassionate, and focused on what a person can do next.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Donna integrates existential therapy and client-centered therapy to help people clarify what matters to them and feel heard. Existential therapy focuses on questions of meaning, choice, and purpose and can help when life feels directionless. Client-centered therapy emphasizes open listening and empathy so people feel understood as they explore concerns.

She also draws on cognitive behavioral therapy to identify and change unhelpful thoughts that fuel anxiety and depression. CBT offers concrete exercises and skills to manage worry and shift daily habits. Together these approaches give both reflective work about values and practical tools for daily life. Finding the right blend is collaborative - the therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences and adjust the approach over time.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules. Video is useful for deeper conversation and nonverbal cues, phone works well when bandwidth is limited, live chat can be a shorter check-in, and text messaging helps with quick support between sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, childcare, and other commitments.
