Donald Rincon

Donald Rincon is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) working in Colorado. He has 17 years of experience helping adults with stress, anxiety, anger, depression, addictions, and other concerns. He uses a direct, down-to-earth style and focuses on practical steps people can take right away.

Rincon earned a Master of Social Work from the University of Denver in 2005 and has worked in residential treatment centers, emergency rooms, and in-home family therapy. That range of settings shaped the way he responds to urgent needs and everyday struggles.

His counseling approach is open, honest, and experiential. He looks for strengths a person already has and builds on them. He often brings creativity and even humor into sessions to keep work both useful and human.

He has experience with trauma including emotional, physical, and sexual abuse, as well as grief, relationship and parenting concerns, eating and sleeping problems, bipolar issues, and LGBT-related matters. He adapts methods to fit each person rather than insisting on one path.

Sessions emphasize clear, practical steps and repeated practice between meetings. People who prefer straightforward feedback and hands-on exercises tend to do well with his style. If someone wants a clinician who mixes structure with flexibility, he helps put that plan into action.

How evidence-based approaches translate to online care

Donald uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change. One commonly used approach is trauma-focused work, which helps people process past incidents and reduce their impact on daily life through structured discussion and exercises. Another approach is cognitive behavioral style work, which helps people notice thought and behavior patterns and practice alternative responses to stress, anger, or anxiety.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. He works collaboratively to choose methods that match a person's goals, needs, and comfort level. That means trying techniques, reviewing what helps, and adjusting the plan together over time.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, shorten travel time, and allow for flexible scheduling around work or school. Some people prefer shorter check-ins by phone when time is limited, while others choose video sessions for more face-to-face interaction. Discuss your routine and preferences when you schedule so the therapist can recommend an approach that fits your day-to-day life.
