Donda Roach, LCSW

Donda Roach is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 14 years of experience in Oklahoma. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, and struggles with addiction or self-esteem. She also supports people coping with sleep problems and life changes. Donda aims to turn difficult moments into steps forward so clients can feel more in control.

Her sessions focus on practical steps and clear goals. She uses a client-centered stance that starts by listening and understanding each person’s story. From there she works with clients to set manageable goals and identify small changes that make daily life easier.

Donda draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to spot unhelpful thinking and try different behaviors. She also uses solution-focused techniques to build on what already works. Motivational interviewing helps when people feel stuck or uncertain about change.

She commonly helps with issues related to abandonment, attachment, blended family challenges, caregiver stress, and body image. Donda also supports people dealing with adoption and foster care histories, aging concerns, and personality-related patterns like avoidant or dependent tendencies.

Sessions aim to be straightforward and goal-oriented. Clients can expect a collaborative approach where Donda offers tools, feedback, and encouragement. The focus is on small, practical shifts that add up to meaningful change.

How her approaches fit into online therapy

Donda commonly uses client-centered work and cognitive behavioral ideas in sessions. Client-centered Therapy focuses on listening closely and following the client’s priorities. It helps people clarify what matters to them and feel understood. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches simple skills to change patterns that get in the way of daily life.

Finding the right approach is part of the work, and she treats that as a collaboration. She will help clients identify goals and try methods that match those goals and personal preferences. Together they check what helps and adjust plans so the approach fits the person.

Confirm the therapist’s current session options before booking, since the biography does not list specific formats. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or avoid travel time. Some formats also require less bandwidth or let a person focus on talking without being on camera; the therapist will discuss which option best matches a client’s needs and daily routine.
