Getting to know Donald R Gidney
My name is Donald R. Gidney. I have 12 years of experience working as a psychotherapist. I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I am currently licensed to practice in North Carolina as a LCSW & South Carolina as an LISW-CP. My areas of expertise include anxiety, stress, depression, substance abuse, phase of life issues, anger management, dual diagnosis, communication skills & PTSD.
I use a person-centered & approach to therapy starting with engagement which involves developing a relationship, building rapport & hearing the client's story so that I can gain an understanding of presenting problems. Then I conduct a thorough assessment which includes exploring the client's past/childhood to gain an understanding of their present challenges. I then provide insights, psycho-education & assist them with understanding their problems, developing their strengths, learning new ways of thinking & behaving so that they can overcome life's challenges. My primary therapy approaches are Motivational Interviewing, Adlerian & Mindfulness Cognitive Behavioral Therapies.

More information on payments and coverage
Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card
on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be
provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks
after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the
claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your
responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for
services. For
out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s
self-pay rate,
and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for
potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits.
