About Donald

Donald Rincon is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Colorado with 17 years of practice. He holds a Master of Social Work from the University of Denver and has spent much of his career supporting adults and families in a range of settings. He brings straightforward, compassionate care to people facing difficult life moments.

He has worked in residential treatment centers, emergency rooms, and provided in-home family therapy. That background gave him experience with trauma, anger, depression, grief, anxiety, and relationship struggles. He also has experience addressing parenting concerns, addictions, eating and sleeping issues, and bipolar-related challenges.

Donald describes his counseling style as open, honest, and experiential. He looks for strengths a person already has and uses those as starting points. He values creativity and sometimes uses humor when it helps a person reconnect with daily life.

His practice draws on several evidence-based techniques, including trauma-focused approaches, cognitive behavioral work, and narrative methods. He says the most important step is tailoring methods to fit each person's needs rather than following a single fixed plan.

If someone is ready to begin, he asks them to pick the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule based on his availability. Sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

This summary is based on the profile information listed on BetterHelp.

Evidence-based approaches and online care

Donald draws on trauma-focused methods that help people process difficult past experiences in manageable steps. These techniques aim to reduce distressing memories and the reactions that interfere with daily life and can be helpful for people coping with abuse, loss, or repeated traumatic events.

He also uses cognitive behavioral approaches, which look at thoughts and behaviors together. This work helps identify unhelpful thinking patterns, test them in real life, and build practical habits for mood, sleep, and anxiety management.

Narrative techniques are another part of his practice. These approaches help people reframe their personal stories so difficult events do not define their identity, which can support recovery from depression, shame, or relationship fallout.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods that match those goals, and adjust plans based on what is working. Clients are invited to give feedback so the plan remains practical and relevant.

Confirm current session formats before booking to know what options are available. Online therapy can make scheduling easier and help sessions fit around work, school, and family life. It can also allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, reduce travel time, and make it simpler to keep continuity of care when routines change.
