Background and approach
He draws from client-centered work to make room for each person’s values and choices while also introducing skills people can use between sessions. His approach combines elements of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), attachment-based ideas, and mindfulness practices. This mix is used to address anxiety, addiction, trauma, parenting stress, anger, and difficulties with intimacy and communication.
Sessions aim to build coping skills and improve daily functioning. David has worked across many topics including family of origin issues, blended family challenges, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, codependency, and substance use concerns. He helps people clarify what matters to them and takes a practical path toward those goals.
Based in Utah, he offers a steady, client-focused style that balances empathy with direct coaching. People come for help with immediate problems and leave with tools to manage future challenges.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
David blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered methods with mindfulness work to help people manage symptoms and build healthier routines. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety and mood problems. Client-centered work emphasizes empathic listening and supporting each person's values and goals. Mindfulness adds simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and increase calm.Finding the right mix is part of the process. He collaborates with each person to choose techniques that fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That conversation shapes what happens in sessions and what skills are practiced between meetings.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs. Video sessions allow face-to-face work for skill practice and deeper conversation. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier during a busy day. Live chat or text messaging can work for brief check-ins, skill reminders, or stepping through short problems between longer sessions.
