My life had seemingly taken a turn for the worse when I met Don. I was at the lowest place I had ever been in my life having realized many of my problems and current situation were a result of my behavior. Don was by my side for 3 years helping me on my journey to becoming a better person. He was attentive, relatable, and always there whenever I needed honest opinion to help me take the right path to the person I wanted to be. It is rare to find a counselor who is truly invested in your mental health and isn't afraid to tell you the hard truths when needed. He is so personable that I didn't want to leave when my time was up and I did not need guidance anymore.

More about Donald

  • 17 years' experience
  • Male
  • LCSW

Im a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Therapist licensed in Colorado with more than 14 years of experience working with adults, and families in a variety of settings that include residential treatment centers, emergency rooms and in home family therapy. I graduated with my Masters Degree in Social Work from the University of Denver in 2005, and have been helping people therapeutically ever since.

I have worked with people with a wide range of concerns including various types of trauma such as emotional, physical and sexual abuse, anger issues, depression, grief and loss, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems. I have worked in family and individual settings, so I have experience in helping people in many different situations.

My counseling style is open and honest and experiential . I am compassionate about people that I work with and will use every strength in an individual to help them through challenging situations. I do not believe there is only one way to solve a problem so using creativity and humor is a big part of how I treat clients.

My approach combines utilizing many different modalities that include , trauma-focused, cognitive behavioral and narrative models but tailoring approaches to meet the needs of the client is most important to me.

If you are ready to reach out and feel that i may be able to help you, lets get to work. Hope to hear from you soon.

About online counseling

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.

Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Mr. Rincon is a very responsive and consistent counselor here on BetterHelp. I got to work with him for a couple of months and I was really beginning to benefit from the weekly chat sessions we'd schedule. He's organized and thoughtful which is what I needed from an online counselor. He'd check in on me between the week and was reassuring in when I could message him. I definitely recommend talking to Donald for long term counseling, he's a very kind person.

Donald is a very caring professional. He helped to remind me of my self-worth and that I deserved better than the situation I was in. He helped me work through many issues associated with a difficult divorce, and estranged relationship with my two adult daughters. There have been many changes in my life and Donald has helped me through all of the curves life has thrown at me. Thanks to his listening and guiding, I realized the way I deserve to be treated by people.

Donald is an incredibly intelligent person and experienced in many fields, but that's easy to say on paper. In practice he is a kind and caring ear when you need it; and a clear, precise voice of guidance when you don't know where to go. I am very happy I was able to work with him.
