He helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, addiction, depression, grief, anger, relationship struggles, and intimacy-related concerns.

His background includes six years of professional experience as a social worker. He has worked with individuals and groups and has experience addressing addictions and serious mental health conditions alongside mood and stress concerns. This informs his practical, goal-minded style.

People who reach out can expect a straightforward plan and regular check-ins on progress. David aims to help clients build skills that make daily life more manageable and relationships clearer and safer.

How his approaches shape online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding a person's experience. The therapist offers empathy and helps clients explore their own goals and values, which can be useful for relationship and self-esteem concerns.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. It uses practical exercises and experiments to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and change unhelpful patterns related to jealousy or anger.

Finding the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will discuss needs, goals, and preferences and together decide which methods to try. Sessions can shift if a different focus or strategy seems more helpful over time.

Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep regular appointments. It can reduce travel time and help people check in from different locations when schedules are tight. Confirm the current session options before booking so you know what formats are available and what will best fit your routine.
