Donna Khan, LMSW

Donna Khan is a licensed master social worker with more than three decades of clinical experience. She focuses on clear, practical help for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship trouble, or life transitions. Donna emphasizes straightforward conversations and concrete steps in each session.

She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to look at how thoughts and behaviors affect mood and habits. She also draws on attachment-based ideas to untangle relationship patterns and client-centered ways of working that let the person set the pace. Over 31 years she has worked in both inpatient medical social work and outpatient clinic settings, so she is familiar with different kinds of care environments.

Donna commonly helps people with addiction concerns, anger, parenting strain, career stress, and coping after trauma or loss. She offers strategies for sleep, eating, and building healthier communication. The work often focuses on small, usable tools clients can practice between sessions.

Her style is respectful and steady. She aims to build a collaborative relationship so clients can try new approaches at their own speed. Donna also supports those navigating blended families, caregiver stress, codependency, and attachment wounds.

Sessions are offered in English and she accepts international clients. Donna is based in Michigan and brings a long history of practical, skill-focused therapy to people wanting help with day-to-day challenges.

How CBT and Attachment Work Online

Donna blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Attachment-Based approaches to help people understand patterns that keep problems repeating. CBT helps identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can reduce anxiety, depression, and problematic habits. Attachment-based work looks at how early and current relationship patterns shape emotional responses and communication.

She also uses a client-centered stance that keeps sessions focused on each person’s goals and pace. Finding the right approach is a collaborative process; the therapist will discuss options, try strategies, and adjust the plan together based on what is helpful and what the client prefers.

Online therapy with Donna is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is good when visual cues and a fuller conversation matter. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when audio-only check-ins fit a busy day. Live chat and messaging are useful for short updates, coping reminders, or when someone wants flexible check-ins outside a traditional appointment time. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving, or travel while maintaining consistent progress.
