About

Donald Hays, PhD, LPC, LMFT

Meet Don, Your Therapist in Florida & Texas

I am a licensed counselor and marriage and family therapist with 35 years of experience and am equally skilled in dealing with individuals and couples.

The problems I deal with most commonly are anxiety, depression, panic attacks, bipolar disorder, individual growth, midlife issues, relationship problems, anger management, conflict negotiation skills, divorce adjustment, blended families, and parenting issues. I provide Christian counseling if requested. When working with couples, I use John Gottman’s research-based model for marriage counseling coupled with key concepts of Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT).

I was skeptical about virtual counseling before COVID, but I have found virtual counseling to be extremely effective and powerful, and it eliminates travel time.  I am licensed to see clients in both Texas and Florida virtually, and recently moved to Pensacola, FL, where I see clients in-person, too.
