Donald "Don" Collier, LMSW

Donald "Don" Collier is an LMSW - Licensed Master Social Worker practicing in Michigan with three years of clinical experience. He focuses on relationship strains, family challenges, grief, parenting difficulties, and career changes. Don also works with concerns such as attachment, blended family issues, caregiver stress, communication problems, and mood-related struggles.

Don aims for practical conversations about what life looks like now. He helps people sort through loyalty conflicts, role changes in a new household, and the frustration that follows separation or divorce. Sessions often include looking at patterns of thought and behavior that keep problems repeating.

He uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and try new responses. Narrative Therapy is also part of his work, helping people tell a different story about themselves and their relationships. These methods are used to address issues like guilt, shame, impulsivity, and isolation.

Sessions are straightforward and focused on real-life steps. Don helps people build small, doable strategies to improve communication, manage stress, and handle blended family tensions. He talks through practical changes rather than offering quick fixes.

Clients can expect a clear, goal-oriented style that connects everyday concerns to therapeutic tools. Don invites people to test changes between sessions and bring back what worked and what did not. He asks about routines, responsibilities, and expectations to make plans that fit each household.
