Donna Holden, LMFT - Therapist in Oklahoma

About Donna

Donna Holden is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with 13 years of clinical experience. She works in Oklahoma and focuses on family and parenting concerns alongside stress, anxiety, relationships, and depression. Her approach is practical and direct, aimed at helping parents and caregivers find useful, everyday strategies.

She often helps parents and teens learn coping skills to manage stress and anxiety. Donna also spends a lot of time on communication skills for couples and families.

Background and approach

That includes finding clearer ways to talk, reduce conflict, and rebuild trust. Sessions are patient-centered and tailored to each family’s needs. Donna listens first, then builds a plan that fits day-to-day life.

She believes small changes in how people talk and act can reduce tension at home. Her work covers caregiver stress and issues around control and life purpose. She also supports people dealing with social anxiety and phobia, and she helps with broader questions about meaning and direction.

Interventions draw from cognitive-behavioral and emotionally-focused ideas when useful. Donna aims to create a respectful and compassionate space. She offers clear guidance and practical tools rather than abstract theories.

Parents who want straightforward help with family patterns often find this approach useful.

Therapeutic approaches and online family care

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and creating a respectful space. The therapist follows the family’s pace and helps people name what matters most, which can be useful for parenting and relationship issues.

Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thought and behavior. It teaches specific skills to reduce anxiety and manage stress, such as coping strategies and activity planning.

Emotionally-focused therapy, or EFT, concentrates on connection between partners or family members. It helps identify emotional responses and build new ways to respond that reduce conflict and increase understanding.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Donna will collaborate with clients to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and everyday life. She adapts the plan as therapy progresses so the approach stays useful and realistic.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These formats make it easier to fit sessions around school, work, and family schedules and let people use therapy from home. They also allow for brief check-ins or more in-depth sessions depending on what a family needs.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT)

Attends to the emotions underneath a recurring argument or distance, and to the attachment needs driving them. Often used where a relationship keeps returning to the same painful loop.
