Donna Khan, LMSW

Donna Khan is a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) with 31 years of experience. She offers a calm, practical approach and helps people sort through stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, and issues around intimacy and addiction. Donna aims to make early steps feel manageable and clear for people seeking support.

She uses approaches that center the person and their strengths. Sessions focus on building skills to handle strong emotions, improving communication, and creating small plans that fit daily life. Donna draws on methods that help people recognize thought patterns, manage overwhelming feelings, and repair connection in close relationships.

Her background includes inpatient medical social work and outpatient clinic practice in Michigan. That mix shaped her ability to work with practical problems alongside emotional concerns. She has worked with people facing career shifts, parenting stress, chronic worry, and complicated grief.

In the room, she emphasizes respect and a steady therapeutic relationship. The work is collaborative - clients set goals and pace while she suggests tools and exercises. Donna helps people try alternatives, notice what works, and adjust plans when needed.

People often come for help with jealousy within relationships, abandonment worries, codependency, or body-image and self-esteem struggles. She also supports those coping with trauma, substance concerns, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and caregiver stress. Her practice combines short-term strategies and longer-term skill building.

How her approaches guide online work

Donna often draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationship patterns affect current connections. This approach helps people understand why they react strongly and how to build more steady ways of relating. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to map thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and to try small experiments that can reduce anxiety and improve mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She will collaborate with each client to choose methods that fit their goals, comfort level, and day-to-day life. The plan can change as progress is made or new needs appear.

The therapist’s biography does not specify session formats, so check current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It can also support continuity of care for people who move or travel. A licensed professional will discuss practical details and help match session length and frequency to personal needs.
