Therapeutic approaches for online care

David draws from several practical therapies to support clients in an online setting. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes the client’s own goals and experiences, with the therapist offering empathic listening and support to help people clarify identity, values, and personal priorities - it is especially helpful for those navigating identity, life transitions, or relational concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns; it can be effective for anxiety, depression, mood disorders, and stress by teaching concrete skills for managing symptoms and improving daily functioning. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and coping practices that reduce reactivity and enhance emotional regulation, which can support people dealing with chronic pain, trauma responses, or ongoing anxiety.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. David works with each client to determine which techniques fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting methods over time as progress and circumstances evolve. He partners with clients to build a plan that feels practical and respectful of their lived experience.

Online therapy offers flexibility in how care is delivered - through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging - allowing clients to access consistent support without disrupting daily life. These options can make it easier to maintain regular sessions, try different therapeutic techniques, and integrate new skills into everyday routines while working with licensed professionals and therapists who tailor care to individual needs.
