Don Wood, LPC
Specializes In:
William ‘Don’ Wood, LPC, helps adults and seniors across Virginia build stability, resilience, and meaningful change through compassionate, evidence-based mental health care. At LifeStance Health, he provides individual, couples and family therapy for people navigating anxiety, depression, and other related conditions. Don partners closely with clients to develop practical skills, strengthen relationships, and support long-term recovery using approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and family-based interventions. Don is especially passionate about supporting individuals who are recently discharged from psychiatric hospitalization, those participating in court-ordered treatment, and people managing current legal matters. He brings a steady, structured approach to these complex situations, helping clients reestablish routines, reduce relapse risk, and move forward with clarity and accountability during pivotal transitions. In addition to substance use and mood-related concerns, Don works with ADHD and trauma-related challenges and offers care for additional specialties as well. He serves different populations including LGBTQ+ individuals and people living with developmental disabilities or head injuries, tailoring treatment to each person’s goals and circumstances. Outside the therapy room, Don enjoys following VCU basketball and spending time with family.
