About Don
Don Baccus is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas. He brings 11 years of experience to sessions and focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and trauma-related concerns. Don speaks directly and respectfully, and he aims to make the first steps into therapy feel manageable.
Don adapts conversations and plans to fit each person's needs. He uses Narrative Therapy to help people rethink the stories they tell about themselves.
Background and approach
He also draws on Client-Centered methods to create a supportive, nonjudgmental space for talking through difficult feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is part of his toolkit when people need concrete strategies to handle panic attacks, social anxiety, or phobic reactions. Emotionally-Focused ideas are used when feelings and relationships get tangled and someone wants clearer emotional understanding.
He often works with concerns tied to life changes such as divorce and separation, and with deeper struggles like forgiveness, guilt, and finding life purpose. Sessions address both immediate issues and longer-term goals, depending on what the person wants to focus on. Don aims for straightforward conversation and practical next steps.
He tailors pace and tools to each person, balancing listening with actionable techniques. If someone is looking for calm, steady support while they sort things out, he offers a clear, respectful presence.

Online session options
How approach and format come together online
Don commonly uses Narrative Therapy to help people see how the stories they tell themselves shape their feelings and choices. That approach is useful for unpacking identity, life purpose, and patterns that keep repeating. He also uses Client-Centered Therapy to create a listening space where people can speak openly and feel understood, which helps when anxiety or shame make talking hard. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy offers practical steps to break panic cycles and manage social anxiety through concrete exercises and small behavior changes.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Don treats therapy as a collaboration and will help figure out which methods fit a person's needs and goals. He adjusts pace and techniques based on feedback and what feels most helpful in session.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to give practical flexibility. Video lets people read facial cues and use visual worksheets. Phone sessions require less bandwidth and can fit into short breaks. Live chat and messaging suit quick check-ins, written reflection, or when someone prefers not to be on camera. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, family, or travel.
