About Rhoda

Rhoda Anang is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) practicing in Oklahoma with 11 years of experience. She has spent much of her recent work as an acute adolescent therapist, seeing youth aged about 12 to 17 and sometimes younger in a psychiatric facility. Her caseload has included depression, anxiety, trauma and abuse, self-harm, mood disorders, and a range of relationship and parenting concerns.

Her background includes individual, group, and family work in inpatient settings. Earlier in her career she also provided care for adults and senior citizens. That variety has exposed her to issues like domestic violence, sexual assault, bipolar conditions, and disruptive mood dysregulation disorder (DMDD).

Rhoda uses client-centered methods alongside cognitive behavioral approaches. She also draws on motivational interviewing, solution-focused techniques, and trauma-focused work when appropriate. In practice she aims for an open, interactive style and adjusts methods to the person’s needs.

She speaks English and Hausa. Her experience with adolescents in acute settings means she is familiar with short-term crisis interventions and longer term work to rebuild everyday routines and coping skills. Parents and caregivers who want clear, practical steps often find this direct approach useful.

Rhoda emphasizes respect for differences in culture and background. She works with issues such as attachment and abandonment, communication problems, grief, intimacy-related concerns, anger, isolation, guilt and shame, and women’s issues. For intake, she follows the site process to match people to an initial session.

How her approaches adapt to remote work

Rhoda commonly uses client-centered methods and cognitive behavioral therapy in her sessions. Client-centered work focuses on listening, reflecting, and helping the person set their own goals; it helps when someone needs support naming feelings and priorities. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at patterns of thought and behavior and tries practical steps to change them; this can help with anxiety, depression, and mood regulation.

She also uses motivational interviewing to help people resolve mixed feelings and move toward change, and trauma-focused techniques when past harm affects current functioning. Deciding which approaches to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will check in about goals, preferences, and what feels useful, then adjust methods as therapy progresses.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into busy days, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also supports continuing care between in-person visits and lets therapists and clients try practical exercises together, such as thought records or behavioral experiments, without changing the method itself.
