Donald (Don) Heffington is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with more than 20 years of experience providing counseling to people across Oklahoma. He earned a bachelor’s degree in psychology from the University of Tulsa, completed a master’s degree at Northeastern State University, and holds licensure to practice as an LPC. His work blends direct counseling with supervision of counselors pursuing licensure and consultation for other counseling professionals.

Heffington uses a range of evidence-informed methods, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness-based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT), and Solution Focused Therapy, tailoring interventions to each person’s needs. He works with individuals facing stress, anxiety, addictions, anger, depression, trauma and abuse, grief, relationship and family concerns, parenting and intimacy-related issues, sleep problems, bipolar disorder, compassion fatigue, chronic pain or illness, obsessive-compulsive concerns, process addictions, and seasonal mood changes.

Heffington approaches care by listening for values, strengths, and goals, then collaborating to develop a practical plan for change. He invites people who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or caught in repetitive patterns to explore alternatives and work toward a more manageable, meaningful life.
