Donna Khan , LMSW

Donna Khan is a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) based in Detroit, Michigan, who brings decades of experience to her clinical work. After earning bachelor and master degrees in social work from Wayne State University in 1994, she has built a practice focused on helping individuals, couples, and families navigate stress, anxiety, depression, relationship conflict, grief, anger, and life transitions. With 31 years of professional experience, Donna has worked in both inpatient medical social work and outpatient clinic settings, and she draws on that breadth of practice to create practical, personalized care.

Her approach is collaborative and strengths oriented, combining client-centered listening with evidence-informed methods such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), alongside solutions-focused techniques and motivational enhancement. Donna helps clients develop skills and strategies to manage recurring problems, cope with change, and build healthier relationships. She treats each person with respect and compassion and aims to foster a therapeutic relationship that supports growth at an individual pace. Donna welcomes individuals, couples, families, and international clients who are ready to reach out for guidance and support.

Therapeutic Approaches for Remote Support

Donna Khan integrates several established therapies into online work to meet a range of concerns. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and current relationship patterns affect feelings and behavior; it can help people who struggle with trust, intimacy, or patterns of abandonment by exploring relational needs and repair. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathic listening and the client's own goals, creating a supportive space where people can clarify values and strengthen self-direction; it is useful for stress, life transitions, and building self-esteem. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and developing practical skills to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and mood challenges.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Donna works collaboratively with each person to assess needs, preferences, and goals, and she tailors methods so the work fits the individual rather than expecting the client to fit a single model.

Online therapy with Donna can include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and communication styles. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care while addressing life, work, and family obligations, and they allow licensed professionals to provide consistent support across distances.
