About David Bone

David Bone works with people who feel trapped by emotions they have tried to avoid for years - guilt, shame, grief, anxiety and depression. He describes how those feelings can lead to choices that provide short-term relief but leave a person stuck - drinking too much, clinging to unhealthy relationships, or settling for less than they deserve. In his practice, David focuses on helping clients identify patterns that keep them handcuffed to old decisions and rebuild a stronger sense of self-worth.

He draws on six years of counseling experience and holds ACA, a professional counseling credential, to offer practical, positive, and professional support. His work addresses a broad range of concerns including addiction, relationship problems, family conflict, intimacy challenges, trauma and abuse, and low self-esteem. David blends practical strategies with straightforward guidance to help clients make meaningful changes in daily life.

Change requires effort and can feel difficult, but David frames therapy as a collaborative process focused on real-world results. He encourages people to take the first step toward the life they want, emphasizing that seeking the right counseling support is the beginning of lasting progress.

ACT and CBT applied through online therapy



David uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy - ACT - to help clients notice painful thoughts and feelings without letting those experiences dictate their actions. This approach focuses on identifying what matters most to a person and taking committed steps toward those values even when difficult emotions are present, which can be helpful for issues like addiction, avoidance, and low self-esteem.

He also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy - CBT - to explore how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact. CBT offers practical tools to challenge unhelpful thinking patterns and build alternative coping skills, making it well suited to address anxiety, trauma-related symptoms, and relationship difficulties.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. David works collaboratively with each person to tailor techniques to their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting methods as progress unfolds so the plan fits the individual rather than forcing a single model.

Online therapy with David is offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, which adds flexibility for scheduling and makes it easier to access care from home or during busy days. These options support consistent work on goals while accommodating different communication preferences and lifestyles.
