David Powell, LCSW

David Powell is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) based in Florida who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy concerns, and challenges tied to health and caregiving. He supports people facing grief, trauma, addictions, body image struggles, ADHD, and changes brought on by illness or aging. His approach is practical and straightforward, aimed at helping people feel steadier and more capable in day-to-day life.

He usually starts by listening closely to what matters most to each person. Sessions focus on real problems and concrete steps people can try between meetings. David draws on several well-known methods to match techniques to a person’s needs rather than sticking to one single plan.

With 12 years of clinical experience, he blends client-centered work with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy, plus ideas from Jungian and mindfulness approaches when they fit. That lets him address thinking patterns, emotional connection, and deeper meaning all together.

People seeking help for chronic pain, caregiving stress, cancer-related concerns, or difficulties with intimacy and self-worth often find this combination useful. He also works with issues like sleep and eating problems, career strain, and coping with major life transitions.

To begin, visitors use the site’s Start Therapy flow to fill a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to the therapist’s availability. The practice emphasizes a collaborative pace so people can make steady progress without feeling rushed.

How these approaches work online and in session

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a respectful relationship so people feel heard and understood. It helps when someone needs a calm space to sort through feelings and decide what matters most.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and teaches practical skills to change them. It is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep and eating problems, and for coping with chronic health issues.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people identify and work through strong emotions that affect relationships and intimacy. It can be useful for improving connection and reducing conflict in close relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and personal style, and he will adjust those methods as progress is made.

Confirm the available session formats before booking to be sure they fit your routine. Many people find online work helpful because it can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. Talk with the therapist about how to structure sessions so they work with your schedule and daily life.
