About Rhoda
Rhoda Anang is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Oklahoma with 11 years of experience. She has spent much of her recent work as an acute adolescent therapist, helping young people navigate school, family stress, and mood concerns. She speaks English and Hausa and brings steady, practical support to sessions.
Rhoda’s background includes individual, group, and family work in a psychiatric facility and earlier experience with adults and older clients. Over the years she has supported people facing depression, anxiety, trauma, relationship problems, parenting strain, and issues such as OCD and ADHD. She has also worked with survivors of physical and emotional abuse.
Her counseling style is interactive and open-minded. She leans on cognitive behavioral ideas while using other approaches like Motivational Interviewing, client-centered methods, solution-focused techniques, and trauma-focused work when they fit the person’s needs. Sessions tend to be collaborative and goal-oriented, with clear steps to try between meetings.
Rhoda emphasizes respect and cultural awareness in her work. She aims to be attentive to each person’s background and values. Her way of working is practical: she listens, helps clarify goals, and supports small changes that add up over time.
People who come to her often want direct tools for coping, clearer communication skills, or help processing past hurts. To start, she asks about current challenges and together they pick a manageable plan to move forward.

How her approaches translate to online work
Rhoda uses Motivational Interviewing to help people find their own reasons for change, asking questions and reflecting back what matters most. She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy to keep sessions focused on the person’s experience and priorities, offering warmth and nonjudgmental listening. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, appears in practical problem-solving and in skills to manage mood and anxiety, such as testing thoughts and building new daily routines.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She will help clients decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences and adjust plans as progress is made. The process is collaborative, with shared decisions about what to try next.
If you are considering online options, confirm the current session formats before booking so you know what is available. Online therapy can make it easier to work sessions into busy days, shorten travel time, and use shorter check-ins when that suits a schedule. It can also allow consistent work through life changes when attending in-person is difficult. Licensed professionals adapt tools like MI and CBT to online sessions to keep the focus on practical steps and problem solving. -
