About David
David Ramstad is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with 22 years of experience helping people navigate hard times. He brings a direct but warm style and respects the courage it takes to reach out for help. David aims to make sessions practical and usable in day-to-day life.
He offers a listening space where people are heard first. From there he may introduce different perspectives or tried approaches to help with specific struggles.
Background and approach
The process is collaborative and grounded in what the person needs right now. David draws from several therapy approaches and also from his own lived experience. That mix helps him keep work tangible and focused on real change instead of just talk.
Sessions often include clear feedback and concrete steps to try between meetings. He has worked with anxiety, trauma, depression, addiction, relationship strain, grief, parenting concerns, anger, ADHD, and coping with life changes. He also addresses deeper patterns like attachment, codependency, abandonment issues, and family of origin problems.
People who choose David tend to want straightforward guidance along with steady support. He balances challenge and compassion to help people make practical changes and build clearer ways of living and relating.
Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a trusting relationship, helping people feel understood and guiding change at their own pace. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and offers practical tools to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and change unhelpful habits. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better interpersonal communication, which can be useful for intense emotions or relationship strain.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. David will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, then tailor methods to match those needs. That collaborative process helps make sure the chosen approach fits both the problem and the person.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video lets you use visual cues and fuller conversation, phone can be simpler when bandwidth is limited, live chat is helpful for short check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing reflection and quick contact. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to try different formats as needs change.
