Therapeutic Approaches for Online Recovery and Relationship Work
David integrates proven therapeutic methods into his online practice to address trauma, mood, and relationship concerns. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify personal values and take committed action even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present - it is useful for anxiety, avoidance, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors to reduce symptoms of depression, anxiety, and stress. The Gottman Method offers practical tools for improving communication and repairing relational patterns, which can be especially helpful for couples and family dynamics.
