Remote sessions and therapeutic approach
Donald Holland integrates approaches that focus on values, skills, and emotional regulation to guide remote work. He uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help clients clarify personal values and take committed action even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is employed to identify and modify patterns of thinking and behavior that contribute to distress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy offers tools for managing intense emotions, improving distress tolerance, and strengthening interpersonal effectiveness.
These methods are presented in a collaborative way: sessions prioritize mutual goal-setting, practical skill-building, and ongoing feedback about what is helping. Holland adapts interventions to the concerns brought by the client, whether those relate to trauma, addiction, mood, relationship conflict, or attention challenges.
Remote appointments are available via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. He is licensed in North Carolina and is available to work with international clients through these communication channels.
