About Donald
Donald Rincon is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who practices in Colorado and brings 17 years of experience to his work. He began his clinical path after earning a Master of Social Work from the University of Denver in 2005. He has worked in residential treatment centers, emergency rooms, and in-home family settings.
Donald focuses on practical help that people can use day to day. He helps people with stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, depression, and addictions.
Background and approach
He also addresses grief, trauma and abuse, relationship and intimacy concerns, eating and sleeping difficulties, parenting strain, career questions, and bipolar-related challenges. Language used in sessions is English. Donald’s style is direct and down-to-earth.
He favors honest conversations, hands-on exercises, and a bit of creativity or humor when it fits. He looks for strengths the person already has and builds from them. Sessions aim to be straightforward and usable between meetings.
His background includes work across different treatment settings, which shapes a flexible approach. Donald uses a mix of trauma-focused, cognitive behavioral, and narrative ideas and adapts them to each person’s needs. He believes there is rarely a single way to solve a problem and prefers tailoring the approach.

Therapeutic approaches and online care
Donald draws from trauma-focused approaches that help people process and reduce the impact of past hurt through structured work on memories, reactions, and coping skills. This can be useful for emotional, physical, or sexual abuse and other trauma-related difficulties.He also uses cognitive behavioral ideas that look at how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact. These techniques help people notice unhelpful thinking patterns and try new behaviors to reduce anxiety, low mood, and anger. Narrative-informed work is used as well to help people reframe their life stories and find different meanings for difficult events.
Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Donald will work with the person to identify goals, try methods, and adjust plans when needed. The process is collaborative and aims to find what fits each person’s needs and preferences.
Online therapy with him offers flexibility. Video calls let people see facial cues and hold longer sessions, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging support brief check-ins, quick coping reminders, or ongoing reflection between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving, and other commitments.
