About David
His therapeutic work blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, the Gottman Method for couples, and psychodynamic approaches to address both present-day patterns and deeper emotional roots. Treatment plans are created collaboratively with each client so goals and interventions reflect their specific needs and circumstances. David regularly addresses relationship and family issues, stress and anxiety, addiction recovery, trauma and abuse, as well as related concerns such as divorce and separation, family of origin dynamics, mood disorders, fatherhood challenges, and anger management.
Known for a practical, empathic style, he guides clients toward clearer communication, stronger relationships, and improved coping strategies while tailoring care to the unique challenges each person or family brings to therapy.
Evidence-Informed Approaches for Online Relationship and Recovery Work
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and replacing them with more constructive patterns; it is often used to address anxiety, depression, addiction-related habits, and stress. The Gottman Method is a structured couples approach that teaches communication and conflict management skills to strengthen relationships and reduce recurring conflict. Psychodynamic Therapy explores how past relationships and unconscious patterns influence present feelings and behaviors, helping clients gain insight into long-standing emotional difficulties and relational patterns.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. David works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and adapts interventions as progress unfolds so care remains focused and relevant.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility for people juggling work, family, or other commitments. Through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, licensed professionals can provide consistent support without the need for travel, making it easier to stay engaged with therapy and apply new skills in everyday life.
