Donda Roach

Donda Roach is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Oklahoma with 14 years of experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, addictions, sleep problems, low self-esteem, and coping with life changes. She also works with issues tied to abandonment, adoption and foster care, caregiver stress, and communication or commitment difficulties.

Her sessions are straightforward and practical. She uses Client-Centered Therapy to focus on the person's perspective. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of responding. Motivational Interviewing helps when someone feels stuck or unsure about change.

Donda describes her role as helping people develop tools to move forward. She treats the person in front of her as the expert on their life. Conversations often include clear steps and short-term goals to try between sessions.

Many clients bring specific problems like insomnia, substance use concerns, or family stress. Sessions typically look at immediate coping, patterns that keep problems going, and small experiments to see what works. Progress is tracked in concrete ways rather than vague promises.

Her background as a social worker means she also considers practical impacts on daily life. She discusses resources and supports that connect to therapy work. People who want a pragmatic, goal-focused process often seek this style of help.

How her approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening to the person's perspective and following their priorities. Online sessions using this approach begin by asking what matters most now and building sessions around those topics. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks down problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and tests small experiments. Online CBT often uses homework, short exercises, and step-by-step skill practice between meetings.

Finding the best method is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has helped or not helped before. Together they decide whether to emphasize CBT skills, motivational interviewing to build readiness, or solution-focused steps for quick change.

Confirm the exact session formats before booking because the biography does not list them. Many people find online sessions helpful for fitting therapy into busy schedules, reducing travel time, and making it easier to keep brief check-ins on stressful days. Others choose formats that need less bandwidth or allow a shorter, focused meeting when time is limited. The focus is on practical ways to make sessions fit into everyday life rather than promising any particular outcome.
