About Donald

Donald Rincon is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who practices in Colorado. He holds a Master of Social Work from the University of Denver and brings 17 years of experience in clinical settings. He has spent much of his career supporting adults and families across residential treatment, emergency rooms, and in-home family therapy.

Donald works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, anger, and a range of trauma-related concerns. He also addresses issues such as addictions, grief, intimacy-related problems, sleep and eating difficulties, parenting challenges, relationship struggles, and bipolar mood concerns.

Background and approach

He uses a direct, plainspoken approach to help people make practical changes. In session he keeps things open and honest. He uses experiential methods and draws on the client's strengths.

He values creativity and a sense of humor when appropriate, rather than relying on a single method. Donald blends several evidence-based techniques, tailoring the work to each person and family. That can include trauma-focused work, cognitive-behavioral strategies, and narrative approaches depending on what the situation needs.

He aims to pick the tools that will best help someone reach their goals. Parents and family members will find a therapist experienced in both individual and family settings. He explains options clearly and focuses on practical steps families can take between sessions to improve day-to-day life.

Approaches and how online therapy supports family work

Donald commonly uses trauma-focused work to help people process and reduce the impact of past trauma. This approach helps people name what happened, understand how it affects them now, and practice skills to manage strong emotions.

He also uses cognitive-behavioral strategies that focus on changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. These techniques help with anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and patterns that get in the way of parenting or relationships.

Narrative techniques are part of his toolkit as well, which involve examining the stories people tell about themselves and their family. Rewriting parts of those stories can open up new choices and improve how family members relate to each other.

Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will work with each person and family to choose methods that fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That selection can change over time as progress is made.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation from home, phone sessions reduce travel, and live chat or text messaging can support check-ins between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy family schedules while keeping the focus on workable strategies and steady progress.
