Approaches for Online Therapy and Therapeutic Fit

David draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help clients notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and to clarify personal values that guide meaningful action - it can be useful for stress, anxiety, and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy is used to explore how early relationship patterns influence current connections and emotional responses, which is helpful for attachment issues, abandonment concerns, and relationship struggles. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, active listening, and support so clients can access their own strengths and move at a comfortable pace; it suits people seeking a respectful, nonjudgmental space for self-exploration.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and David collaborates with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. He adjusts techniques over time based on what proves most helpful in session.

Online therapy with David is available via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for varied schedules and circumstances. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, fit sessions into busy lives, and access therapy from different locations while working with a licensed professional who tailors treatment to individual concerns.
