Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and developing practical skills to change behaviors and emotional responses - it is often used for stress, anxiety, low mood, and many everyday challenges. Existential Therapy explores personal meaning, values, and choice, helping people facing major life changes, questions about identity, or feelings of uncertainty to clarify what matters and make intentional decisions. The Gottman Method is a structured approach for couples that emphasizes communication, conflict management, and building friendship and trust within relationships, which can help partners improve connection and resolve recurring issues.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and David works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences. He tailors the plan over time, drawing on different techniques as progress and circumstances evolve.
Online therapy with David offers flexible options including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These modalities make it easier to schedule sessions around work, parenting, or mobility needs and allow clients to maintain continuity of care when life gets busy or circumstances change.
