Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care with David Parker
David Parker draws from client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and mindfulness therapy to shape his online practice. Client-centered therapy focuses on creating a respectful, nonjudgmental space where the client's own goals and insights guide the work - it helps people build self-understanding and feel heard. CBT is practical and goal-oriented, helping clients identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop new skills to manage anxiety, depression, and stress-related symptoms. Mindfulness therapy cultivates present-moment awareness and simple practices that can reduce reactivity and support emotional regulation.
Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and David works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. He adapts techniques over time so therapy remains responsive to what is most helpful for the client.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect with licensed professionals and therapists, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, accommodate different communication styles, and continue work through transitions or when in-person visits are not practical.
