About Donald
Donald "Don" Fountain is a Licensed Professional Counselor with four decades of experience. He focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, grief, low self-esteem, and depression. Don speaks plainly and works to help people find practical ways to feel steadier in daily life.
He spent 27 years as a high school counselor and served as department chair during that time. He also worked in independent practice as an LPC across many settings and ages.
How Donald works
Don has taught graduate students preparing to become counselors and most recently owned a preschool program serving young children through sixth grade. Don aims to help people discover answers inside themselves. He uses a mix of evidence-based therapeutic techniques and adapts methods to match each person's situation.
Sessions focus on usable tools for coping, clearer communication, and steps toward meaningful change. His background includes work with aging and geriatric issues, communication problems, addiction to drugs and alcohol, family-related concerns, impulsivity, isolation and loneliness, and life-purpose questions. He brings practical experience helping people navigate loss, forgiveness, and the strain of major life transitions.
People who prefer straightforward guidance and steady support may find his style a good fit. He offers phone, video, live chat, and text-based messaging sessions to match different schedules and needs. Don practices in Pennsylvania and conducts sessions in English.

Online support options
Approaches that guide online sessions
Many of the techniques Don uses are evidence-based and focused on practical change. One common approach helps people learn skills to manage stress and anxiety through breathing, paced thinking, and behavior changes that reduce worry. Another approach targets addiction and substance use by identifying triggers, building coping plans, and developing routines that support recovery. These methods are straightforward and geared toward solving problems people face day to day.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Don will work with each person to pick methods that match their needs, goals, and comfort level. Together they adjust techniques over time when something isn’t helping or when new challenges appear.
Online therapy offers several useful formats: live video calls for deeper conversation and face-to-face connection, phone sessions when bandwidth or visual focus is an issue, live chat for quicker check-ins, and text-based messaging for short updates or ongoing support. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, offer flexibility for different days and energy levels, and let people choose how they prefer to communicate.
