Rhoda Anang , LPC

Rhoda Anang, LPC, has practiced therapy in Oklahoma for 11 years. She brings direct experience from working in a psychiatric facility with adolescents and with adults across different settings. Rhoda focuses on clear, practical help for people coping with stress, trauma, mood concerns, and relationship struggles.

She sees issues such as anxiety, depression, grief, self-esteem, and mood disorders including bipolar. She also supports people who have experienced abuse, sexual assault, or post-traumatic stress. Women's issues are listed among her focus areas, and she works with clients around parenting, intimacy-related concerns, and family conflict.

Rhoda uses a conversational, interactive style in sessions. She listens closely and tailors techniques to what each person needs. Her work often draws on cognitive behavioral methods to spot unhelpful thinking and build new skills, while also using trauma-focused approaches when someone has a history of abuse or overwhelming events.

She has a background treating adolescents ages 12 to 17 with individual, group, and family therapy in acute care settings, and has experience with clients of other ages including senior citizens. That clinical history informs how she manages crisis moments and supports people during big life changes.

Sessions are offered in English and Hausa. Rhoda aims to be respectful, culturally aware, and practical in each meeting. She helps people set small, achievable goals and create a plan they can use between sessions.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Rhoda commonly draws on Client-Centered Therapy and Trauma-Focused Therapy alongside Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and building a supportive relationship so clients can explore what matters to them. Trauma-Focused Therapy helps people process and manage reactions after abuse or overwhelming events so symptoms become easier to handle. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at unhelpful thinking patterns and teaches practical skills to change behaviors and mood.

Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has helped or not helped in the past. Together they adjust techniques and priorities to match the client’s needs and the issues being addressed.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation across distance. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a client prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging are useful for shorter check-ins, scheduling, or brief skill practice between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or school schedules while still using the therapist’s chosen approaches.
