About Donna
Donna Khan is an LMSW (Licensed Master Social Worker) based in Michigan with 31 years of experience. She works with adults on a range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, family and relationship issues, grief, anger, addictions, and coping with life changes. She also supports people dealing with ADHD, attachment and abandonment concerns, and career transitions.
Her background includes inpatient medical social work and outpatient clinic practice. That mix means she is used to practical problem-solving and helping people manage strong feelings in everyday life. Sessions focus on building skills and clear strategies rather than long theory talks.
Donna uses several therapeutic approaches to guide her work. She draws on client-centered methods to keep conversations focused on the person in front of her. She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to identify patterns that keep problems going and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) to teach emotion regulation and coping skills.
She aims to help people develop tools that fit their daily routine. This can include techniques for reducing reactivity, handling workplace stress, or improving communication in close relationships. Donna encourages steady progress at a pace the client sets.
Sessions are conducted in English and Donna accepts international clients. Costs vary by location and use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session via the online therapy options button.
How sessions work
How attachment work and skills-based therapy translate online
Donna uses Attachment-Based ideas to look at how early patterns shape current relationships and to help people notice recurring ways they relate. This approach can be useful when anger shows up around closeness or fear of loss. She also uses Client-Centered Therapy to keep the conversation focused on the client’s experience, helping the person lead what they want to work on.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is another core part of her work. CBT breaks down thoughts, feelings and actions into manageable steps and suggests practical experiments to test new responses. That approach is helpful for stress, anxiety, and recurring anger patterns because it targets the thoughts and behaviors that fuel reactivity.
Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. Donna will help identify which methods suit the client’s goals and preferences and adjust strategies over time. The aim is to combine supportive conversation with concrete skills that fit the client’s life.
The therapist’s biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to attend regular sessions, fit appointments around work or caregiving, and use shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It also allows practicing skills in the contexts where problems arise, which can speed learning and make changes more practical.
