Background and approach
He uses a mix of approaches but often draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to help people notice unhelpful thinking and try different responses. He also uses client-centered and mindfulness strategies to build clearer goals and calmer moments in daily life. In sessions he focuses on practical steps - planning small changes, practicing new skills, and checking what works.
He helps people develop boundaries, manage stress, cope with trauma and abuse, and create plans for career direction. He also addresses concerns such as sleep, eating, intimacy, and caregiving stress. David works with adults across a broad range of concerns, including bipolar symptoms, ADHD, compassion fatigue, and issues tied to adoption, aging, chronic illness, and body image.
He notes less experience with LGBTQ clients and aims to be respectful of each person’s values and beliefs.

Online support
Approaches that guide online sessions
Client-centered work focuses on listening and helping people name what matters most. It supports people who want a compassionate space to sort values, make decisions, or regain direction.Cognitive behavioral therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different responses. It is useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and habits related to sleep, eating, or substance use because it emphasizes practical experiments and skill building.
Motivational interviewing is a short-term, goal-oriented style that helps when someone feels stuck about change. It gently explores ambivalence and builds the motivation to take the next step.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust them as progress is made.
Online therapy offers flexibility across formats. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues matter. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit a break at work. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for brief check-ins, ongoing coaching, or when writing helps clarify thoughts. These options make it easier to fit regular sessions into a busy life and to try methods that suit each person’s daily routine.
