About Donna
Donna Khan, LMSW, brings a practical, people-centered approach to therapy. She focuses on helping individuals and couples manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship problems, and life transitions. She aims to provide a calm, listening presence and to help clients find workable steps forward.
Donna trained at Wayne State University and has been practicing social work since 1994, giving her over 31 years of experience. Her background includes inpatient medical social work and outpatient clinic work, which shaped her ability to respond to both crisis and ongoing concerns.
Her sessions emphasize clear skills and tools. She uses client-centered methods to follow each person’s priorities and CBT and DBT techniques to teach coping skills and regulate emotions. She also draws on attachment-based and emotionally-focused ideas when relationship patterns and connection are central to the issue.
Donna commonly helps people with grief, anger, addiction concerns, self-esteem, parenting strain, and career-related stress. She supports clients facing trauma, attachment wounds, blended-family complications, and caregiving burdens by breaking problems into manageable steps and building practical strategies.
Her style is respectful and steady. She works at each person’s pace and focuses on what will make day-to-day life easier. To begin, readers are invited to complete the site’s matching questionnaire and schedule a session according to availability.
How Donna’s Approaches Translate to Online Work
Attachment-based methods focus on patterns in close relationships and help people identify and change repeating hurtful dynamics, which can aid couples and individuals dealing with intimacy-related concerns. Client-centered therapy centers the person’s own goals and experience, giving space for the client to set priorities while the therapist listens and reflects back what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches specific skills for changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress management.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Donna will work with each person to decide which combination of methods fits their goals, needs, and preferences. That plan can change over time as progress is made or as new challenges arise.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It also lets people work on skill practice between sessions and bring real-life situations into conversation with their therapist.
