About Donna

Donna Khan is an LMSW (Licensed Master Social Worker) practicing from Michigan with 31 years of experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, grief, and addiction. She also supports people facing codependency patterns, parenting strain, and career or life changes.

Donna draws on practical, evidence-informed methods in session. She uses client-centered work to focus on the person's priorities. She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to spot unhelpful thoughts and DBT skills for managing strong emotions.

Her background includes inpatient medical social work and outpatient clinic practice. That mix means she is used to short-term crisis work and longer-term therapy. She offers guidance, resources, and straightforward skill-building rather than quick fixes.

In sessions Donna helps people develop concrete strategies. That can mean practicing boundary-setting, improving communication, managing anxiety, or creating plans to reduce substance-related harm. She guides steady steps people can use between meetings.

People who contact her can expect a respectful, goal-focused relationship. The focus is on building useful skills and clearer choices. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the site.

How sessions work

Therapeutic approaches and online sessions

Donna draws on Attachment-Based work to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. That approach helps when trust, closeness, or abandonment fears affect present relationships. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with small behavioral experiments to reduce anxiety or depression.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Donna will talk with each person about problems, goals, and preferences, and then suggest which methods to try. The choice of strategies is collaborative and can change as progress is made.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - they can shorten commute time, allow quicker check-ins between appointments, and make it simpler to schedule sessions around work or caregiving. Some formats also let people choose shorter phone check-ins when bandwidth or camera use is difficult. Ask about which options are available and how they would fit your routine.
