Background and approach

His style is collaborative and down-to-earth. He listens for values and life priorities, then works with each person to try things that can reduce panic, manage mood swings, or improve communication. He also addresses concerns such as ADHD, anger, and compassion fatigue in concrete ways.

David draws on a mix of approaches including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Existential Therapy, and Jungian Therapy.

Online support

Approach options and how online sessions fit your life

Jungian Therapy looks at stories, dreams, and personal symbols to help people find meaning and direction when life feels confusing or empty. It can be useful for those wanting to understand deeper patterns and personal purpose.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, teaches practical skills to notice thoughts and feelings without being driven by them while focusing on actions that match personal values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people identify unhelpful thinking and try new behaviors to reduce anxiety, panic, and mood symptoms.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to goals and try methods that fit the person's needs and preferences. Over time the plan can shift if something isn’t helpful.

Online therapy offers flexibility for busy schedules. Video calls let people have conversations that feel much like in-person meetings. Phone sessions can be easier when video isn’t practical, and live chat or text messaging work well for shorter check-ins or when a written format helps process thoughts. These options make it simpler to fit regular sessions around work, school, or family demands while working with a licensed professional.
