Donda Roach, LCSW

Donda Roach is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who helps people facing stress and anxiety. She supports those dealing with depression, grief, relationship concerns, addiction, sleep problems, low self-esteem, and major life changes. Her work focuses on practical steps people can use right away to feel steadier and more able to cope.

She uses a client-centered stance that treats the person as the expert on their life. Sessions aim to build on strengths and clarify goals. Donda draws on solution-focused techniques to identify small, achievable changes that add up over time.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, informs how she helps people notice and shift thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. Motivational Interviewing is used to strengthen motivation when someone feels stuck or unsure about change. These methods are blended into a straightforward, goal-oriented approach.

Across 14 years of practice in Oklahoma she has worked with a wide range of concerns including attachment and abandonment issues, blended family challenges, caregiving stress, body image, and commitment problems. She also supports people coping with aging, adoption and foster care matters, and recovery-related topics.

Donda aims for clear, practical sessions where clients learn tools they can use between meetings. The focus is on small, manageable steps that fit into everyday life and help people move toward what matters to them.

How her approaches translate to online work

Donda uses Client-Centered Therapy to center each session on the person's priorities and lived experience. That approach focuses on listening, reflecting, and helping people set their own goals. It suits worries like anxiety, stress, and relationship issues where personal values guide change.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people identify thinking and behavior patterns that keep symptoms going. Sessions using CBT typically include homework, simple experiments, and concrete tools for sleep, mood, and coping with life changes. Motivational Interviewing may be used when someone feels unsure about change; it helps build internal motivation and small next steps.

Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the person to choose approaches that match their needs, goals, and preferences and will adjust strategies over time based on what helps.
