Rhoda Anang , LPC

Rhoda Anang is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Oklahoma with 11 years of clinical experience. Her work has focused heavily on adolescent mental health - for the past seven years she has served 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 children. Prior to that role she worked with clients across the lifespan, including senior citizens, and has supported people facing a wide range of concerns.

Her clinical experience spans depression, anxiety, relationship and family difficulties, parenting challenges, career stressors, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), attention-deficit concerns (ADHD), and the effects of physical trauma or emotional abuse. She also works with issues such as grief, self-esteem struggles, anger, mood disorders, and intimacy-related problems. Rhoda lists specialties that include trauma and abuse, LGBT concerns, bipolar conditions, and coping with life changes among others.

Rhoda’s counseling style is interactive, receptive, and open-minded. She was trained primarily in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy - a structured approach that links thoughts, feelings, and behaviors - and integrates other evidence-based methods when appropriate. Her practice emphasizes respect for cultural differences and a sensitivity to each person’s needs, and she aims to use available tools and resources to support clients’ goals. Rhoda provides services in English and Hausa and is not currently accepting new clients.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care Options

Rhoda often draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which helps clients identify and change unhelpful patterns of thinking and behavior - a practical approach that can assist with anxiety, depression, OCD-related patterns, and coping challenges. She also uses Trauma-Focused Therapy to help clients process and make sense of traumatic experiences and their emotional impact, which can be especially relevant for survivors of physical or emotional abuse. In keeping with her interactive style, Rhoda incorporates Client-Centered Therapy principles that prioritize empathy, active listening, and supporting each person’s own goals to build self-esteem and improve relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Rhoda collaborates with clients to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, and she may combine techniques from different models to create a tailored plan.

Online therapy with licensed professionals offers flexibility and easier access to ongoing support. Whether through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, these options make scheduling more convenient, allow continuity of care when in-person visits are difficult, and let clients engage with therapy in the modes that feel most comfortable and workable for their lives.
