Donna Holden, LMFT

Donna Holden is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) working in Oklahoma. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship or parenting struggles. She also supports caregivers facing strain and people dealing with social anxiety or questions about life purpose.

Donna draws on practical, person-focused methods to shape conversations that feel useful and direct. Sessions aim to build coping skills, improve communication, and reduce conflict in everyday life. She adapts the pace and topics to each person's needs rather than using a one-size-fits-all plan.

Her background includes more than a decade of clinical experience. That time has included working with children and adolescents on stress and anxiety skills, and working with parents and partners on communication and conflict strategies. She brings a straightforward approach that emphasizes clear steps people can try between sessions.

Many clients notice the difference when therapy focuses on specific behaviors and on repairing interaction patterns. Donna uses methods that help people see how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. She also helps caregivers manage the particular stresses that come with supporting others.

To begin, she asks people to share their goals and current struggles. From there she and the client set priorities and practical goals. The work is collaborative and grounded in everyday problems and solutions.

How these approaches translate to online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so people feel heard and can explore what matters to them. It helps when the main goal is to sort out values, choices, or personal priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact and teaches practical strategies to reduce anxiety and change unhelpful patterns. It is useful for stress, social anxiety, and managing mood.

Choosing an approach is part of the work together. Donna will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, and then recommend ways of working that match those needs. That choice is reviewed and adjusted as therapy progresses so the plan stays useful and realistic.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the available session formats before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also make it simpler to involve different family members in separate sessions when needed. Ask about the specific session options and scheduling when you set up your first appointment so you know how therapy can fit into everyday life.
