Background and approach

He uses ideas from attachment-based work to look at how early relationships affect current patterns. Client-centered methods keep conversations focused on each person’s priorities and values. Solution-focused techniques help set clear, short-term goals and identify small changes that can make a difference.

David has practiced mindfulness meditation for many years and asks clients to try simple practices when they are useful. He has spent time in Thailand learning and deepening his meditation experience in monastery and workshop settings. That background informs his calm, grounded style in sessions.

Sessions are offered from his Oklahoma base, and he works with people in English. He connects with international clients as well and aims to make sessions straightforward and practical for busy lives.

Approach and online therapy options

David often combines client-centered conversation with mindfulness and solution-focused work. Client-centered therapy means sessions follow the person’s priorities and pace, which helps when someone needs space to talk through relationship or self-worth concerns. Mindfulness practice teaches short attention and breathing exercises to reduce stress and ground attention during anxious moments. Solution-focused work helps identify small, actionable goals to try between sessions, useful for workplace issues or coping with life changes.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and preferences, then try methods that fit those needs. Adjustments happen along the way so sessions stay practical and relevant to the person’s daily life.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video allows face-to-face conversation and visual cues, while phone calls can be simpler when someone has limited bandwidth. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for quick check-ins, short coaching-style notes, or for people who prefer writing to speaking. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to continue work from different locations.
