01About Donald
Donald "Don" Fountain brings four decades of counseling and education experience to his work. He has spent many years helping people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, grief, low self-esteem, and depression. Don speaks plainly and focuses on practical steps people can use right away.
He spent 27 years as a high school counselor and served as department chair for part of that time. He has also worked as a Licensed Professional Counselor, and he taught graduate students who were training to become counselors.
Background and approach
Those roles gave him experience with adolescents and adults in many settings. Don has run and overseen programs for young children through elementary school and has also worked in personal counseling practices. His long career includes work on aging and geriatric concerns, communication problems, recovery from drug and alcohol addiction, and coping after disasters.
He often helps people who feel isolated, lack direction, or struggle with impulsivity. In sessions he looks for strengths clients already have and helps them build on those resources. He uses a mix of techniques chosen to match each person’s needs and situation.
The work tends to be straightforward and focused on skills people can use between meetings. Clients who choose Don can expect a calm, experienced counselor who values clear goals and steady progress. He aims to help people find balance and purpose as they move toward more satisfying daily life.
