About David Miller
David Miller is a clinically licensed therapist based in Ohio with six years of professional experience. As a Licensed Independent Social Worker (LISW), he combines clinical training with practical experience gained while serving as an Air Force military officer, where he worked with both active duty members and veterans and developed a perspective on the stressors faced by military communities.
His practice focuses on trauma and addictions, stress and anxiety management, coping with grief and loss, and both domestic and child abuse. He also provides support for couples and works with mood and personality disorders. Across these areas he draws on training in several therapeutic modalities, including certification in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and familiarity with Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT).
During his military service he gained specialized skills in Family Advocacy, which inform his work with domestic and child abuse cases as well as couples dealing with relationship strain. He approaches therapy from a strengths-based perspective, viewing each person as the expert on their own story and offering guidance to help them access their existing resources. He aims to support clients as they take steps toward healing and growth and welcomes the opportunity to collaborate on that journey.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
David Miller integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) into his work to help clients clarify personal values and build psychological flexibility - an approach useful for anxiety, stress, and patterns that feel stuck. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, often applied to depression, anxiety, and mood concerns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) techniques support emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can be helpful for intense emotions and relational challenges.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and David Miller works collaboratively with clients to determine which strategies align with their needs, goals, and preferences. He tailors interventions over time, combining methods when appropriate to address complex or co-occurring issues.
Online therapy offers flexible options such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to fit care into varied schedules and circumstances. These formats allow licensed professionals to deliver consistent support across distances and can increase accessibility for those balancing work, family, or mobility constraints.
