Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care

David draws from Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Existential Therapy to shape online work in ways that meet each person's needs. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy and a nonjudgmental space, helping people explore their feelings and values while building self-understanding and resilience. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and impulsivity. Existential Therapy explores meaning, choice, and responsibility, offering support for people facing life transitions, grief, or questions about purpose.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. David works with clients to identify goals, preferences, and practical concerns, and adapts methods over time so therapy fits the individual rather than forcing a single model.

Online sessions are offered by licensed professionals in several flexible formats - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - so people can choose what works best for their schedule and comfort. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care during busy periods, when travel is difficult, or when different communication styles are preferred.
