About Donald
Donald Rindfuss is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 15 years of practice based in Pennsylvania. He uses straightforward language and a relaxed manner to help people manage strong emotions and life disruptions. Donald draws on personal experience and formal training to guide people toward more values-driven days.
He focuses on problems like addiction, grief, anger, anxiety, stress, and depression. He also helps with career questions, low self-esteem, coping with life changes, and compassion fatigue.
Background and approach
His background includes work with veterans and people in addiction and housing services. Donald tends to keep sessions calm and practical. He mixes talk therapy with mindfulness and breathing tools drawn from his yoga practice.
People may find his style steady and unhurried, and he aims to match strategies to what each person needs right now. Therapeutic methods he commonly uses include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, mindfulness practices, motivational interviewing, and narrative techniques. These approaches are used to address patterns of thought, build coping skills, and reconnect people to meaningful goals.
Donald offers sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. He works with people individually to set goals and plans that feel manageable. Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a time that fits the person’s routine.

Therapeutic tools and online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values even when emotions are hard. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and practicing new behaviors to reduce anxiety, depression, and anger. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and simple breathing or attention practices that can lessen reactivity and support mood regulation.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Donald collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their goals, preferences, and current life demands. He adapts tools over time so the plan stays useful as needs change.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls let people work face-to-face from wherever they are. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging allow brief updates, coaching between sessions, or checking in on homework and skills practice. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and different routines.
