About Rhoda

Rhoda Anang is a Licensed Professional Counselor with 11 years of practice in Oklahoma. She began her career working with a wide age range of clients and for the past several years has focused on adolescents, providing individual, group, and family therapy in a psychiatric setting.

She speaks English and Hausa and brings experience with mood disorders, trauma, and relationship and parenting concerns. Her work is practical and interactive. She listens carefully and then helps clients try new ways of coping and communicating.

Background and approach

Sessions are straightforward and aim to identify steps that can make daily life easier for both young people and their caregivers. Rhoda draws heavily on cognitive behavioral techniques she trained in, while remaining open to other evidence-based methods. She uses trauma-focused and solution-oriented strategies when those approaches fit a family's needs.

This flexible stance helps tailor care to each situation. She emphasizes respect for each person's background and values. Time spent with families often includes improving communication, addressing grief or loss, and managing strong emotions like anger or anxiety.

Parents are invited into the work when it helps the child or teen. Rhoda's experience includes helping people after physical or emotional abuse, managing depressive and bipolar symptoms, and navigating parenting challenges. Her aim is to provide steady support and practical tools so families can move forward.

Therapeutic approaches and online options for families

Rhoda uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT is often useful for anxiety, depression, and mood-related struggles because it breaks problems into small, manageable steps. She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which focuses on listening closely and building a trusting relationship so clients and parents feel heard and respected.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She will talk with the family about goals and preferences, then suggest strategies that fit those needs. Decisions about technique are made collaboratively so families feel involved in shaping care.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These formats make it easier for busy families to fit sessions into their schedules and keep communication consistent between visits. The variety of options also allows parents and teens to choose what feels most comfortable while still getting regular support.

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.

Motivational Interviewing

A way of working through mixed feelings about change without being pushed. The therapist helps you weigh things up and find your own reasons, which often makes a difficult decision feel less stuck.
