He has worked in a range of settings with diverse clients, including older adults and people connected to the justice system.

How his approaches translate to online work

David uses client-centered therapy, which means sessions prioritize what the person brings and their goals. In practice this looks like listening, reflecting, and shaping sessions around what the client wants to tackle. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and helps people try small changes to test what works. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus.

Finding the best approach is part of the work together. David will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences, and suggest which methods to use. That decision is collaborative and can change as progress is made.

The practical benefits of online therapy can include easier scheduling and fitting sessions into a busy week, shorter check-ins when needed, and options that reduce travel time. The exact session formats available should be confirmed before booking, so clients know what to expect. Licensed professionals, including this therapist, can adapt tools like CBT exercises, motivational interviewing conversations, and mindfulness practices to an online setting to help people apply them in daily life.
