About David
David Finucane is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in Florida. He focuses on anxiety and stress along with mood concerns such as bipolar disorder and depression. He emphasizes the client as the expert in their own life and works alongside people to build on their strengths.
Taking the first step toward therapy is framed as an act of courage and he acknowledges that choice. In sessions he uses practical, down-to-earth methods.
Background and approach
He draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and a client-centered style to help people notice what matters to them and make changes that fit their life. Conversations tend to be straightforward and paced to the person's needs. He helps people address anger, addictions, sleep and eating issues, and challenges such as grief or compassion fatigue.
He also supports those facing relationship strain, parenting stress, or career-related pressure. Additional focus areas include attachment and abandonment concerns, care of blended family dynamics, and work with alternative sexual cultures when relevant. Over six years of practice, he has worked with a range of emotional and behavioral issues.
He aims to create a calm, respectful space where people can name problems, test new behaviors, and track small changes. The goal is to find approaches that people can use between sessions. Sessions are offered in English and are provided through a mix of video, phone, live chat, and text messaging.
The process begins with a short matching questionnaire and scheduling that fits the client’s timing.
Approaches you can use in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take meaningful action despite difficult thoughts or feelings; it is often useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like panic, low mood, or sleep disruption. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental stance where the therapist listens closely and follows the person's pace.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to identify goals, try different strategies, and adjust methods based on what fits best. This is a team effort aimed at practical change rather than one fixed method.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls allow face-to-face conversations when a longer session is helpful. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a simpler check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging make it easier to fit brief check-ins into a busy day or to process thoughts between sessions. These options make it possible to keep therapy consistent even with changing schedules.
