About Don

Don Baccus is an LPC based in Texas with 11 years of professional experience in counseling. He focuses on common but impactful concerns such as stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, self-esteem struggles, depression, and navigating life changes.

Background and approach

He also works with issues related to divorce and separation, feelings of guilt and shame, questions of life purpose, panic attacks, and social anxiety and phobia. He approaches therapy with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, adapting conversations and treatment plans to match each person's unique situation.

Don draws from several evidence-informed methods, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, to help clients identify patterns and develop practical skills. He aims to create a collaborative space where people can take the first steps toward change at their own pace.

Whether someone is coping with a recent transition or managing long-standing emotional challenges, Don emphasizes a tailored process that honors individual goals and preferences. He encourages those considering therapy to recognize the courage it takes to begin and offers support as they move forward.

Approaches That Guide Online Sessions



Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people recognize unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and learn concrete strategies to change them; this approach often supports work on anxiety, panic, and low mood by teaching practical coping skills. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental listening stance where the therapist follows the client's lead and supports self-directed exploration and growth. Emotionally-Focused Therapy focuses on identifying and working with emotional experiences to improve how people understand and respond to their feelings, which can be useful for processing trauma, shame, or relationship-related distress.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and the therapist works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. Early sessions typically involve exploring concerns, trying different strategies, and adjusting the plan over time so treatment stays relevant and useful.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for varying schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care while balancing work, family, and other commitments, and they allow licensed professionals to deliver consistent, goal-oriented support across different mediums.
