About Don
Don Baccus is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas with 11 years of experience. He focuses on helping people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, and shifts in life circumstances. Don aims to create a respectful and compassionate space where people can begin to talk about what matters to them.
He adapts conversations and plans to fit each person’s needs. Sessions are practical and straightforward, with attention to what’s causing distress now and what can help day to day. Don uses tools from cognitive behavioral work to spot unhelpful thinking and from client-centered practice to make sure people feel heard.
He also draws on emotionally-focused ideas to help people understand and manage strong feelings. Narrative techniques are used to look at the stories people tell about themselves and find different, more helpful perspectives. Motivational interviewing helps people find reasons to keep moving toward change.
Don is experienced supporting people through grief, relationship breakups, and questions about life purpose. He works with issues such as guilt, shame, and forgiveness in ways that are gentle and practical. If panic or sudden anxiety is part of someone’s struggle, he includes that in the care plan.
People who prefer clear, respectful conversation and a tailored plan often find his style helpful. To begin, follow the site process to match and schedule a first appointment.
Therapeutic approaches and working online
Client-centered work focuses on listening and responding to a person as they describe their struggles. It aims to make people feel heard and to build a plan that fits their priorities and pace.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. It gives practical strategies for managing anxiety, panic, and low mood by changing thinking patterns and behaviors.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people notice and name strong emotions and understand how those feelings shape reactions. It can be useful when intense emotions feel overwhelming or get in the way of daily life.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what seems most helpful before deciding which methods to use. That collaborative step helps tailor sessions to a person's situation.

Licensed professionals will discuss how to structure sessions so they match what a person needs and can realistically use.
