Donald Kinner, MA, LMFT, LPC

Hello there! I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) and a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Virginia. I completed my graduate degree in counseling psychology at Wheaton College Graduate School, and I have practiced professionally since 1985. I am a member of the American Association of Christian Counselors (AACC), and I regularly receive ongoing training through AACC and other professional organizations. I seek to heal emotional wounds, restore relationships, and guide clients toward deeper intimacy with God. I offer a holistic approach that respects each client’s unique journey, and I provide support with grounded professional expertise and biblical principles to help you find peace, direction, meaning, and purpose in life. Throughout my many years of practice, I have integrated professional therapeutic techniques with a biblical perspective in my work with individuals, families, and couples facing emotional, relational, and spiritual needs. Counseling is a collaborative journey. From the first session, we will work together to identify specific goals and challenges, explore deeper issues that may be influencing your struggles, and create a personalized plan for healing. In individual counseling, I often work with those who outwardly appear fine or successful, but inwardly struggle with anxiety, depression, anger, shame, or past trauma. In marriage counseling, we will work to improve communication, learn tools and skills to resolve conflict, rebuild trust, and deepen intimacy. In family counseling, we will navigate complex family dynamics with grace, fostering healthy and harmonious relationships. I specialize in two-day, one-day, or half-day intensives where clients can experience significant breakthroughs in a short time. We will focus on past and present hurts, wounds, or trauma using listening prayer to invite the Lord to bring healing and deepen your intimacy with Jesus. Intensives can be a powerful way to bring peace, hope, and transformation through deep healing.
