About Donald
Donald Holland is a licensed marriage and family therapist with 40 years of experience. He focuses on helping people facing anxiety, depression, grief, addiction, trauma, ADHD, and struggles with self-esteem. He aims to create a calm, nonjudgmental space so clients can talk honestly about what’s difficult.

Background and approach
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy encourages small, values-driven steps when thoughts and feelings feel overwhelming. Attachment-Based work looks at early relationships to understand current patterns in trust and closeness. Donald has long experience with trauma, including childhood abuse and PTSD, and with addiction concerns such as alcohol, drugs, and sexual or porn addiction.
He also supports people dealing with relationship conflict, parenting stress, blended family adjustments, and caregiver strain. He often helps those managing chronic illness, disability, or long-term health challenges. Sessions typically focus on practical skills and honest conversation.
Clients can expect grounding tools for stress and anxiety, strategies to manage addictive behaviors, and work on communication and boundaries. He emphasizes realistic goals that fit each person’s life. Donald practices from North Carolina and conducts sessions in English.
He accepts international clients and offers multiple session formats to fit different routines and needs.

Online support
Approaches that guide online sessions
Donald integrates Existential Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Attachment-Based Therapy in online work. Existential Therapy helps clients face life’s big questions and clarify what matters most, which can assist with feelings of meaninglessness or major life transitions. ACT focuses on accepting difficult thoughts and taking small, values-driven steps; it is useful for anxiety, depression, and persistent avoidance. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns from early relationships to improve trust and communication in current connections, which helps when relationship conflict or abandonment issues come up.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, what has helped or not helped before, and daily life constraints. Together they try methods and adjust based on results so the work fits the person’s needs and preferences rather than following a fixed plan.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make scheduling easier. Video allows face-to-face conversation for deeper work, phone can be useful when bandwidth is limited, live chat works for shorter check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or travel while maintaining continuity of care.
