About Donald
Donald "Don" Fountain is a Licensed Professional Counselor who focuses on men's wellbeing among other concerns. He brings 40 years of counseling and education experience to sessions. Don aims to help people reduce stress, manage anxiety, and address issues with addiction, grief, or low self-esteem.
He spent 27 years as a high school counselor and served as department chair for many of those years. Alongside work in schools, he practiced as a Licensed Professional Counselor in private settings for decades. He also taught in graduate programs to prepare future counselors and later owned a preschool program serving young children.
Don describes his approach as client-centered and practical. He helps people find their own answers and offers tools that fit each person’s situation. He adapts techniques to the individual rather than following one strict method.
Life experience shapes his work. He cared for a spouse in later years and has navigated personal grief and loss. Those experiences inform his sensitivity when helping others manage mourning, isolation, and life transitions.
Sessions are aimed at helping people find balance and grounding in daily life. Don emphasizes small, practical steps that build toward better coping and clearer purpose. If someone is ready to make a change, he offers supportive guidance and encouragement.
