About Donna
Donna Khan is a licensed master social worker (LMSW) based in Michigan with over 31 years of practice. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and sleep difficulties. She also supports those navigating relationship struggles, grief, addiction, and major life changes.
Donna uses straightforward, practical methods in sessions. She listens, helps people set realistic goals, and teaches skills to handle difficult moments. Sessions often include working on coping strategies, communication skills, and ways to improve daily routines that affect rest and energy.
Her background includes inpatient medical social work and outpatient clinic practice. That mix gives experience with both crisis situations and longer term care. She draws on approaches such as client-centered work, cognitive behavioral techniques, and dialectical behavior strategies to meet different needs.
Donna often focuses on attachment and emotional patterns that affect relationships and self-worth. She helps people notice unhelpful patterns and try small, concrete changes. For parents and caregivers she addresses stress, caregiver strain, and family communication in clear, manageable steps.
Reaching out is framed as a first step toward change. Donna aims to build a respectful, steady therapeutic relationship that moves at each person’s pace. To begin, a short matching questionnaire and scheduling step are used to match goals and timing.
Therapeutic approaches for online support and rest
Attachment-Based Therapy helps people look at how early relationships shape current patterns. It focuses on understanding emotional bonds and how they affect trust, closeness, and reactions in relationships. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical ways to change thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and sleep routines by breaking problems into smaller, manageable steps. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) works with emotions in the moment to improve connection in close relationships and reduce intense negative cycles.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. That collaborative process helps choose methods that match the person’s needs and comfort level.
The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, save travel time, and allow check-ins when schedules are tight. Some formats also let clients use shorter sessions for focused skill practice or choose audio-only when bandwidth is limited. Licensed professionals can adapt these approaches to address sleep habits, stress, relationship patterns, and everyday coping while working remotely.
