Donna Holden, LMFT

Donna Holden is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) based in Oklahoma. She focuses on helping people reduce stress and manage anxiety while addressing relationship and parenting concerns. Donna speaks plainly and offers steady support as clients begin difficult work.

She has 13 years of clinical experience. Donna draws on approaches that center the person's experience and that teach practical coping skills. Sessions often include straightforward strategies for calming anxiety, improving communication, and handling caregiving pressures.

Donna has a background working with children and adolescents to build coping skills for stress and anxiety. She also helps individuals worried about depression, control issues, social anxiety, and life purpose. Her work with parents focuses on everyday parenting stress and concrete problem solving.

Her style is collaborative and respectful. She listens first, then tailors a plan that fits each person's needs. That plan may include talk-based work and actionable exercises to practice between visits.

Donna aims to make beginning therapy easier. The first sessions typically clarify goals and decide what to try next. She encourages small steps and recognizes that the pace and focus will change as progress is made.

Approaches that translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to each person's experience. It helps people feel heard and build clarity about what matters to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying new behaviors to reduce anxiety and low mood. CBT offers specific skills people can practice between sessions to see change.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy. The therapist will work together with the client to pick methods that match goals and preferences. That collaborative process can include trying different techniques and adjusting based on what helps most.

Please confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, such as taking a shorter check-in during a work break or avoiding travel time. It also allows for using exercises and guided practices in the moment where people live and work. Licensed professionals can adapt Client-Centered and CBT techniques to work well in remote sessions and to keep progress moving between appointments.
