About Donald
Donald Holland is a licensed marriage and family therapist with 40 years of experience. He helps people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma, grief, ADHD, self-esteem struggles, and depression. He also supports people dealing with relationship strain, parenting challenges, sleep and eating concerns, and issues related to adoption or attachment.
In sessions he focuses on creating a calm, nonjudgmental space where clients can talk through difficult memories and current problems. He listens for patterns that keep people stuck and works with them to try new ways of coping.
Background and approach
Conversations are straightforward and aimed at practical change rather than jargon. Donald uses a mix of approaches that match each person’s needs. He may bring in strategies from cognitive behavioral work to shift thinking, acceptance and commitment ideas to clarify values, or emotionally focused methods to strengthen connections.
He adapts methods to the situation instead of following one rigid plan. His background spans many clinical concerns, including childhood trauma, sexual and physical abuse, addiction recovery, ADHD across the lifespan, autism spectrum matters, and long-term grief. That breadth helps when people arrive with more than one problem at a time.
Sessions are available to people in North Carolina and to international clients in English. Donald aims to make the first steps toward help simple and clear so people can focus on change rather than logistics.

Online support
How therapy approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on helping people clarify what matters to them and take actions that match those values while learning to allow difficult thoughts and feelings. It often helps with anxiety, depression, and persistent stress. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns; it can be useful for anxiety, depression, and many daily struggles. Emotionally-Focused Therapy targets how people relate and express emotion, helping them notice and shift patterns that cause repeated conflict or disconnection.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to your goals and suggest methods that make sense for you. You can try techniques and give feedback so the work can be adjusted over time to better meet your needs.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is helpful for longer sessions and face-to-face conversation. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or for quick check-ins. Live chat and text are useful for brief updates, coping skills, or staying connected between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, travel, or a busy family schedule.
