Donna Khan

Donna Khan is a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) who brings 31 years of practice to clinical work in Michigan. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, and addictive behaviors. Donna listens first, then helps clients find practical steps forward.

Her background blends inpatient medical social work and outpatient clinic experience. That mix shaped a straightforward style: identify what isn't working, build new skills, and try small changes that fit daily life. She uses client-centered work to help people set their own goals and stay motivated.

Donna also draws on attachment-based ideas to clarify how early relationships shape current patterns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy tools are used to spot thought patterns that fuel anxiety or low mood. Dialectical Behavior Therapy strategies are added when people need skills for emotion regulation and stress tolerance.

She has helped people with grief, family conflict, parenting strain, career transitions, body image, and co-occurring substance use concerns. Donna emphasizes plain language and actionable techniques, not jargon. Sessions focus on skill-building, problem solving, and improving communication.

Clients can expect a respectful, compassionate approach that moves at their pace. Donna works with individuals and with couples, and she aims to create a positive therapeutic relationship that supports steady progress.

Therapeutic approaches and how they translate online

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current behavior and reactions. It helps people understand why they repeat certain relationship habits and supports new ways of connecting. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with small real-world experiments. It is useful for anxiety, low mood, and changing routines that cause distress.

Finding the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will work together with the client to choose or combine methods based on goals, preferences, and how problems show up in daily life. That collaboration lets methods be adjusted as needs change.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy routine. It can shorten commute time, allow quicker check-ins during a lunch break, and make it simpler to continue therapy when travel or relocation happens. Many people find that using structured CBT or attachment-focused conversations online still lets them practice skills at home and try new behaviors between meetings.
