About Don
Don Baccus is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas with 11 years of experience. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression, and major life changes. His profile also lists support for divorce and separation, forgiveness, guilt and shame, life purpose, panic attacks, and social anxiety.
Don favors clear, practical conversations. Sessions focus on identifying thoughts and habits that get in the way and trying new ways of responding. He adapts the discussion and the plan to each person rather than following a one-size-fits-all script.
His background includes several counseling approaches. He blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques with client-centered listening and emotionally-focused work when that fits the issue. Motivational Interviewing and narrative methods appear in his toolkit for people who want help finding direction or rebuilding motivation.
Don aims to make sessions straightforward. He often helps people notice patterns, set small goals, practice new skills between meetings, and check progress. This is work that asks for effort outside the session as well as during it.
People who prefer a practical, structured approach tend to fit well with his style. He uses conversational, direct guidance rather than long theoretical explanations. To begin, prospective clients complete a short questionnaire and schedule a first session to see how the approach feels in practice.
How Don uses practical approaches in online work
Client-Centered Therapy centers the person's perspective and priorities. It means listening with the goal of understanding where someone is and following their lead on goals and pace. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and panic by setting small experiments and homework between sessions. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) aims to clarify emotional responses and patterns that affect relationships and personal well-being; it can help people notice and name emotions they’ve avoided.Choosing an approach is collaborative. Don will talk through your goals and preferences and suggest which methods to try first. He adjusts methods over time based on what helps most, and he treats finding the right fit as part of the work together.
The therapist's original profile does not list specific online formats, so confirm session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce commuting time, and allow brief check-ins when a full in-person visit would be harder. They also let people use phone-only contact if video is difficult, or schedule sessions around work or family commitments. Ask about session length and the available formats when you complete the matching questionnaire.
