01 · Who Donald works with
Donald lists 16 specialisms. Specialisms are the subjects Donald chose to list first, which is the closest a listing gets to “this is my actual practice”.
02 · In Donald's own words
Reproduced in full and unedited - not summarised, not tightened, not rewritten in a house voice.
Im a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Therapist licensed in Colorado with more than 14 years of experience working with adults, and families in a variety of settings that include residential treatment centers, emergency rooms and in home family therapy. I graduated with my Masters Degree in Social Work from the University of Denver in 2005, and have been helping people therapeutically ever since.
I have worked with people with a wide range of concerns including various types of trauma such as emotional, physical and sexual abuse, anger issues, depression, grief and loss, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems. I have worked in family and individual settings, so I have experience in helping people in many different situations.
My counseling style is open and honest and experiential . I am compassionate about people that I work with and will use every strength in an individual to help them through challenging situations. I do not believe there is only one way to solve a problem so using creativity and humor is a big part of how I treat clients.
My approach combines utilizing many different modalities that include , trauma-focused, cognitive behavioral and narrative models but tailoring approaches to meet the needs of the client is most important to me.
If you are ready to reach out and feel that i may be able to help you, lets get to work. Hope to hear from you soon.

03 · 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.
04 · 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.
“How do you decide when someone is ready to work on a traumatic memory itself?”
Pacing is the biggest safety question in trauma work. A clear, unhurried answer here matters more than any credential.
“With 17 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.
