Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
David integrates several evidence-informed approaches to help people address emotional and relational challenges. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and replacing them with more constructive habits - it is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) combines mindfulness with values-based action, helping people accept difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to meaningful steps forward. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches practical skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can be especially helpful for intense emotions and relationship conflicts.
Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. David works collaboratively with each person to explore goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, adjusting methods as progress unfolds so the plan fits the individual’s needs.
Online therapy makes these approaches accessible through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options provide flexibility for scheduling, reduce travel time, and allow therapy to be integrated into busy lives, while still supporting meaningful therapeutic work with licensed professionals.
