Background and approach
Sessions often include skill practice, simple experiments between meetings, and direct talk about what is working or not. David draws on several well-known approaches to tailor care to each person. He uses strategies from cognitive behavioral therapy to change unhelpful thinking and behavior.
He also employs acceptance and commitment ideas to help clients clarify values and take committed action despite difficult feelings. Attachment-based perspectives inform his work around relationship patterns and intimacy concerns. When addiction or substance use is involved he combines practical relapse prevention techniques with emotional processing and planning for safer choices.
He works with a wide range of concerns including depression, trauma and abuse, grief, sleeping problems, ADHD, anger, self-esteem, and career stress. Sessions are offered in English and available to people in Colorado as well as international clients by online formats. David aims to make therapy usable and relevant.
He helps people set small steps, track progress, and adjust the plan as needed so therapy fits real life.
How David’s approaches translate to online therapy
David commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy in his online work. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors with practical exercises and homework, which fits well into video or text sessions where tasks can be reviewed and adapted. Acceptance and commitment therapy helps people clarify what matters most and take small committed steps toward those values while learning new ways to relate to difficult feelings.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist and client will discuss goals, try methods, and adjust the plan together until a good fit emerges. That allows tools from different approaches to be combined depending on each person’s needs and preferences.
Online formats offer flexibility for busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and screen sharing for worksheets. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in is preferred. Live chat or text-based messaging can support brief updates, skill coaching between sessions, or ongoing reflection. These options make it easier to keep momentum and practice skills in day-to-day situations.
