About Donna

Donna Khan, LMSW, brings three decades of clinical social work experience to her practice in Michigan. She centers care on collaborative, client-focused therapy and uses practical, skills-based methods to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family challenges, trauma, addiction, and ADHD.

Background and approach

Her background spans inpatient medical social work and outpatient clinic settings, which informs her ability to tailor interventions to individual needs. Her approach emphasizes listening, strengthening coping skills, and developing concrete strategies for recurring problems such as grief, anger, career transitions, and intimacy-related concerns.

She draws from cognitive behavioral techniques to address patterns of thinking and emotion-focused and attachment-informed work to improve relationships and emotional regulation. Donna aims to build a respectful therapeutic alliance that moves at each person’s pace while encouraging growth and resilience.

Clients can expect a practical orientation that combines evidence-based practices with motivational and solution-focused elements. Donna accepts international clients and offers multiple remote session formats, and she frames reaching out as a first step toward clearer options and meaningful change.

How targeted approaches translate to online care

Attachment-Based Therapy helps explore patterns in close relationships and how early bonds shape current emotional responses; this approach can be useful when addressing relationship difficulties, attachment issues, and intimacy-related concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, offering practical tools for managing anxiety, depression, ADHD-related challenges, and stress. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centers on understanding and reshaping emotional responses to improve connection and communication in relationships.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with clients to identify goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, and may integrate elements from different models to match each person's needs. This collaborative exploration helps shape an individualized plan rather than prescribing a single method from the start.

Online therapy with this practice is available through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering practical flexibility for varied schedules and locations. These remote options make it easier to maintain regular sessions while fitting therapy into daily life, and they allow therapists to deliver structured interventions, skills coaching, and relationship-focused work without geographic constraints.
