About David
David Griffin is a Florida-licensed mental health counselor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and struggles with self-esteem. He focuses on practical steps that reduce day-to-day distress and improve relationships. He uses straightforward talk and structured tools to help clients feel more in control.
David draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, using questions and exercises that change unhelpful thinking and behavior. Sessions are meant to be direct and collaborative - the client and therapist set goals together and track progress.
Background and approach
He aims to keep conversations clear and goal-oriented so people leave sessions with something they can try right away. He has eleven years of experience in mental health work and holds the LMHC credential. That background informs a steady, experienced approach rather than quick fixes.
David emphasizes small practical changes that add up over time. When people describe feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or alone, he helps them identify patterns that keep those feelings going. He also addresses workplace stress, communication problems, and social anxiety with specific strategies.
Sessions include skill practice and planning for real-life triggers. David supports people working through life changes, control issues, forgiveness, and finding purpose. He offers tools for improving self-love and handling midlife concerns.
The pace and focus are set by the person's goals and what feels most useful in the moment.
How CBT and online sessions work together
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-world experiments. It uses short exercises and homework to change thinking patterns that feed anxiety and low mood. This approach is helpful for social anxiety, panic, workplace stress, and general worry.David uses clear, task-focused CBT methods and works with clients to choose techniques that fit their goals. Figuring out the right approach is a team effort - he reviews progress and adjusts methods based on what helps most. Clients are encouraged to give feedback so sessions stay practical and relevant.
Online therapy makes it easier to fit care into busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversations for skills practice, while phone sessions can be a shorter check-in or a lower-bandwidth option. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for brief updates, homework support, or when people prefer written reflection. These formats offer flexibility for scheduling, tracking progress, and practicing skills between appointments.
