Rhoda Anang , LPC

Rhoda Anang is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who has practiced in Oklahoma for 11 years, bringing extensive experience working across the lifespan. She has spent the past seven years as an acute adolescent therapist at a psychiatric facility, providing individual, group, and family therapy for young people ages 12 to 17 and occasionally for younger clients. Prior to focusing on adolescents, she worked with patients of varied ages, including senior citizens, and has supported people facing a broad range of concerns.

Her clinical experience covers depression, anxiety, relationship and family challenges, parenting difficulties, career-related stress, obsessive-compulsive symptoms, and ADHD. She has also assisted many individuals who have experienced physical trauma or emotional abuse and addresses issues such as grief, self-esteem, bipolar disorder, and post-traumatic stress. Rhoda draws on a variety of evidence-based methods to match treatment to each person’s needs.

Rhoda’s counseling style is interactive, receptive, and open-minded. Although she trained predominantly in cognitive behavioral therapy, she regularly integrates other empirically supported approaches to tailor care. She emphasizes respect for cultural and personal differences, staying attentive to each person’s unique background and needs. Rhoda combines practical tools and community resources with a collaborative approach to help clients build coping skills and move toward their goals.

Therapeutic approaches for online adolescent and trauma care

Rhoda Anang integrates cognitive behavioral therapy and trauma-focused therapy alongside client-centered principles to support clients in online settings. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and adjusting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and mood-related concerns. Trauma-focused therapy addresses the effects of traumatic experiences through techniques that help process and reduce trauma symptoms, making it useful for survivors of abuse or significant distress. Client-centered therapy emphasizes empathy, respect, and collaboration, creating a supportive environment where clients lead the pace of change and feel heard.

Finding the best therapeutic approach is a collaborative process. Rhoda works with each person to understand their goals, preferences, and life circumstances, then combines methods that fit their needs rather than relying on a single technique. This partnership helps tailor sessions to what will be most effective for the individual.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to access care from home or elsewhere, reduce travel time, and allow ongoing contact between sessions when appropriate. Licensed professionals can adapt therapeutic tools to work well across these modalities while maintaining a professional standard of care.
