02 · In Donald's own words
Reproduced in full and unedited - not summarised, not tightened, not rewritten in a house voice.
I am a licensed therapist with 22 years of experience helping adults navigate life’s challenges, make meaningful changes, and improve their overall well-being. Throughout my career, I have worked with individuals experiencing a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, stress, relationship difficulties, life transitions, work-related challenges, and feeling stuck or overwhelmed.
My approach to therapy is practical, collaborative, and tailored to the individual. I frequently use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients better understand the connection between their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors and to develop strategies that can lead to meaningful change. At the same time, I recognize that no single approach works for everyone. I draw from a variety of therapeutic methods based on each person’s needs, goals, strengths, and circumstances.
I believe effective therapy should be a partnership. My role is not to tell you how to live your life, but to provide a supportive, nonjudgmental space where we can better understand what is getting in the way and identify practical steps toward where you want to be. I value honest conversation, thoughtful reflection, and developing strategies that can be applied outside of our sessions.
With more than two decades in the behavioral health field, I bring both experience and perspective to my work, while recognizing that every person and situation is unique. Whether you are facing a specific challenge, going through a difficult transition, or simply feel that something in your life needs to change, we can work together to identify your goals and develop a path forward.
Taking the first step toward therapy can sometimes be the hardest part. If you feel that my approach may be a good fit for you, I would welcome the opportunity to work with you.

03 · How Donald works
These are the clinical methods Donald lists. The descriptions are Maker Therapy's, not Donald's - a general explanation of what each method is, so the list means something before you have spoken to anybody. They are not a claim about how Donald runs a session.
04 · What happens next
Donald practises through BetterHelp, so the route in is BetterHelp's. This is that sequence, written by Maker Therapy from the platform's published process - not a description of Donald's own practice, and not a promise about how quickly anything happens.
BetterHelp opens with a set of questions about what you are dealing with, what you want from therapy, and any preferences on the therapist. You are not booking Donald at this point.
BetterHelp matches algorithmically by default, so asking for Donald is a step you have to take. There is a field for requesting a specific therapist during sign-up, and you can switch afterwards from your account. Starting from a link on this page does not by itself assign you to Donald.
You will be offered somebody else rather than put on a waitlist. Worth knowing, because it is easy to assume a match is the person you asked for.
A first session is typically history and orientation: what brought you, what has been tried, what you want to be different. It is also where the questions in the next section belong.
Changing therapist on BetterHelp does not need a reason. A first session that does not click is common and is not a verdict on therapy. That option existing is the main practical difference between a platform and a private practice.
05 · Before you commit
Built from what Donald actually lists, so they are answerable and specific rather than generic. Maker Therapy's, not Donald's - Donald has not seen them and is under no obligation to answer any of them.
“You list both Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Client-Centred Therapy. Which do you lean on with someone like me?”
Those two point in different directions - one structured and led by the therapist, the other led by you. The answer tells you what the sessions will actually feel like.
“With 22 years in, what has changed most in how you work?”
Long experience is only an advantage if it has been examined. This tends to surface whether it has.
“How do you handle the gap between sessions if something comes up?”
On BetterHelp this varies a great deal by therapist. Better to know the rhythm now than to discover it on a bad week.

Donald's name, credential, state, subjects, approaches and biography are read from BetterHelp's therapist roster, which Maker Therapy re-reads once a day; this page reflects the reading taken on 7 Oct 2026. The licence number and NPI are cross-checked against public registers.
The plain-English method descriptions, the first-session walkthrough and the questions are written by Maker Therapy and labelled as such wherever they appear.
Maker Therapy is not BetterHelp, does not take bookings, and has not met Donald. There are no reviews or ratings on this page because we have no way to verify one.
