Background and approach

David has worked with concerns that include trauma and abuse, process addictions such as gambling or pornography, substance use, and smoking or vaping cessation. He also supports people facing postpartum depression, bereavement, and issues tied to personality or paranoia. His practice includes hospice and end-of-life counseling matters and young adult concerns.

In sessions he uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques tailored to each person. He reviews what is helping and adjusts the plan as needed. The work can include skills practice between meetings and checking progress over time.

David provides services in English and offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. He is licensed as an LMHC in Florida. To begin, a short online matching questionnaire is completed and appointments are scheduled according to availability.

Evidence-based approaches for online care

David uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical skills and clear goals. One common approach helps people learn coping strategies for anxiety, stress, and sleep problems through step-by-step exercises and behavior changes. Another approach focuses on addiction and impulse-related concerns by identifying triggers, building alternative routines, and strengthening relapse-prevention skills.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will review what’s been tried, listen to your goals, and suggest methods that match your needs. Plans are adjusted over time based on what is working and what isn’t, so clients help shape their own path forward.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be a good fit when bandwidth is limited or a camera is not wanted, and live chat or text messaging supports brief check-ins or ongoing coaching between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family, and daily life while still following a structured plan.
