Donald Claussen, LCSW

Donald Claussen, LCSW

Psychotherapist
CO
Hi, I’m Don. Thanks for taking a look at my profile. I use a combination of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and mindfulness (not meditation), both evidence-based approaches that are highly effective in treating anxiety, depression, trauma, and related challenges. I’ve found these methods to be even more effective when combined—helping people better understand what their mind is doing and how to respond in a more grounded, steady way. Many of the people I work with are dealing with anxiety or low mood that has become more noticeable over time or during periods of change. This may include work stress, relationship issues, retirement, health concerns, loss, grief, or simply feeling less settled than before. These experiences are common, and they can be unsettling—and they are workable. My approach is practical and focused. We work on understanding patterns like worry, rumination, and emotional reactivity, and developing skills that reduce their impact. The goal is not just insight, but a real change in how you feel day to day—more clarity, more stability, and a greater sense of ease. While no single approach fits everyone, many clients find this work leads to meaningful and lasting improvement. Sessions are conducted via secure video telehealth, allowing you to meet from the comfort and privacy of your own space. If this sounds like a good fit, I’d be glad to work with you.
