About LaDonna
LaDonna Hammond is a licensed clinical social worker with 35 years of experience. She focuses on family and parenting concerns as well as issues related to LGBT experiences, trauma and abuse, and depression.

Background and approach
LaDonna listens carefully and helps people name the problems they want to change. Her method emphasizes practical talk and real-world steps. She works with clients to identify small, doable changes and builds on what already works in daily life.
The focus is often on improving relationships, coping after traumatic events, or managing low mood. LaDonna draws on decades of experience to guide conversations. She adapts her approach to the person in the room and the goals they bring.
The pace is set by the client and shaped by clear, direct guidance when needed. She practices in Oklahoma and conducts sessions in English. People who choose therapy here will find a steady, experienced clinician who values safety, respect, and straightforward help.
Therapeutic approaches and benefits of online care
LaDonna uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear goals and practical change. One common approach is problem-focused therapy that narrows in on specific parenting or family patterns and works to change them through step-by-step strategies. This helps when families want concrete ways to improve communication or manage day-to-day challenges.She also draws on trauma-informed care principles to support people recovering from abuse or painful events. That approach emphasizes pacing, stabilization, and learning skills to manage strong emotions so people feel safer in their lives and relationships.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to the client's concerns, discuss options, and together decide which methods match the client’s needs and goals. Plans are adjusted over time based on progress and preference.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These formats make it easier to fit sessions into busy family schedules and to continue care from home. Remote sessions also allow for shorter check-ins or flexible communication when a full appointment is not possible.
