Rhoda Anang, LPC

Rhoda Anang is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Oklahoma. She has worked as a clinician for 11 years and has substantial experience supporting people through mood and stress-related struggles.

She spent many years as an acute adolescent therapist, working with teens aged roughly 12 to 17 in individual, group, and family settings at a psychiatric facility. Before that she provided care to a wider age range, including older adults, and has worked with people affected by physical trauma and emotional abuse.

Rhoda uses a practical, interactive style in sessions. She begins by listening and learning what matters most to each person. Then she helps clients set small, doable goals and practices skills that reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning.

Her approach centers on things that can change now - thoughts, behaviors, and coping strategies - while also addressing trauma when it is present. She draws on cognitive behavioral methods along with client-centered conversations, motivational interviewing, solution-focused techniques, and trauma-focused work as needed.

People who come to Rhoda often want help with anxiety, depression, grief, relationship and parenting stress, or the emotional effects of abuse. She speaks English and Hausa and aims to create a respectful, culturally aware space for each person who comes to therapy.

Rhoda encourages a collaborative process where progress is paced to each person's needs and priorities.

How Rhoda's Approaches Work Online

Rhoda commonly uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help people notice unhelpful thought patterns and try new behaviors; this approach is useful for anxiety, depression, and mood regulation. She also uses client-centered therapy to create an accepting space where clients can speak freely and identify their own priorities. Trauma-focused therapy is used when past hurt is a central concern, helping people process traumatic memories and build coping strategies.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.

Online sessions can be scheduled as video calls, phone meetings, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is good for longer sessions and skill practice, phone can work when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits quick check-ins, and messaging lets people share thoughts between sessions. These options help fit therapy into busy lives and make it easier to keep regular appointments.
