About Donald
Donald Holland is a licensed marriage and family therapist with 40 years of experience. He helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma, grief, ADHD, or low self-esteem. Donald offers straightforward, calm support for common life problems so people can take the next step forward.
He uses practical talk therapy to identify patterns that keep problems repeating. Donald pays attention to how relationships and family roles shape feelings and behaviors.
Background and approach
He listens for attachment wounds and helps people build healthier responses to loss, rejection, and change. Many clients come for help with substance use, compulsive sexual behavior, eating concerns, or sleep problems. He also supports people coping with chronic illness, aging challenges, adoption and foster care matters, autism spectrum concerns, and caregiver stress.
Sessions focus on realistic goals and workable skills to manage daily life. Donald draws on several approaches to tailor care to each person. He uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people notice painful thoughts without getting stuck in them.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to change unhelpful thought and behavior patterns. Attachment-based ideas guide work on trauma, grief, and relationship wounds. Sessions are offered in English and are available to people in North Carolina and international clients.
Donald aims to create a respectful, nonjudgmental space where people can speak openly and try new ways of coping.

Online support
Approaches that guide online sessions
Donald uses Systemic Therapy to look at how relationships, roles, and routines influence current struggles; this helps identify patterns that keep problems repeating and suggests practical changes. He also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and on Attachment-Based Therapy to understand how early bonds affect trust, grief, and connection.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. He collaborates with each person to match techniques to goals and preferences, adjusting the focus as progress or new issues arise. Clients are invited to try different strategies and give feedback so the plan fits their life.
Online therapy is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care more flexible. Video is useful for longer or skills-based sessions, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, chat or messaging work well for quick check-ins or ongoing support between visits. These formats let people fit therapy into work, travel, caregiving, or other routines while keeping the same therapeutic focus.
