Background and approach
David draws from several approaches to guide his work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, solution-focused techniques, psychodynamic ideas, and client-centered practices appear in his sessions when helpful. He mixes these to fit a person’s goals rather than insisting on one method.
Over six years of practice in Maryland inform his perspective on common concerns like relationships, parenting strain, workplace stress, and issues with body image or sexuality. He also addresses topics such as social anxiety, seasonal mood shifts, and anger in plain language. Sessions can include symptom-focused strategies and longer-term exploration of patterns that keep problems recurring.
David will help identify small experiments and practical steps clients can try between meetings. He frames therapy as a collaborative process aimed at clearer decisions and better daily functioning.
How his counseling approaches work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people accept difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, motivation problems, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and changing behavior through practical exercises and experiments, which often helps with anxiety, depression, and sleep issues. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening, empathy, and supporting the person’s own goals so they can find their own solutions and build self-trust.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to test methods, notice what helps, and adjust the plan over time. Goals, personal preferences, and daily life demands guide which techniques are used in sessions.
Online sessions offer flexible ways to connect. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions fit into a tighter schedule or use less bandwidth, and live chat or text-based messaging can support brief check-ins and paced reflection. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, parenting, or busy routines while keeping focus on practical change and coping skills.
