About Donovan
Donovan Harmon is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Louisiana with 16 years of clinical experience. He focuses on practical, down-to-earth help for parents and individuals dealing with everyday pressures. He uses clear, straightforward methods so people can talk through problems and try new ways of coping.
Donovan helps people who are managing stress, anxiety, anger, depression, ADHD, and parenting concerns. He also addresses family problems, grief and loss, career stress, and the ups and downs that follow big life changes.
Background and approach
He aims to make sessions feel like a conversation rather than a lecture. In sessions he centers the person’s perspective and strengths. He draws on Client-Centered Therapy to listen carefully and build on what already works.
He also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and try practical behavior changes. Solution-Focused Therapy often appears in his work when people want quick, practical steps. That approach helps set small goals and track progress between meetings.
Donovan keeps plans simple so parents can test changes while managing busy schedules. His style is collaborative and respectful. He treats each person’s experience as unique and works with them to set useful goals.
For parents, this can mean focusing on communication, routines, and realistic strategies to reduce daily stress.

How his approaches work in online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the person's lead. In practice this means the therapist reflects what a parent or individual says and helps them build on their own strengths and ideas. This approach helps when someone needs validation and a steady, nonjudgmental listener.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions. Online sessions can use CBT to spot unhelpful thinking and try simple behavior experiments between meetings. This is useful for anxiety, low mood, and managing ADHD-related routines.
Solution-Focused Therapy looks for small, practical changes that make a difference quickly. In remote work this can mean setting one or two specific goals and checking progress with short messages or brief calls. It helps parents try new strategies without overhauling their whole routine.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and try methods that fit the person’s life. Decisions about techniques and pacing are made together so plans feel doable.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is good for full conversations and nonverbal cues, phone works when bandwidth is limited, live chat allows quick check-ins, and text messaging supports short updates or coaching between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into hectic family schedules and changing routines.
