David Swineheart commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety, panic, and depression. CBT is practical and skills-oriented, helping people develop coping strategies for day-to-day challenges. He also employs client-centered therapy, an approach that prioritizes the client's own goals and strengths while offering empathetic, nonjudgmental support to foster self-understanding and growth. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) is also part of his skill set and can help clients explore and restructure emotional responses within relationships, which is useful for intimacy and attachment concerns.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. David works with clients to assess needs, preferences, and goals and then tailors the therapeutic plan so interventions feel relevant and manageable. He emphasizes building on existing strengths while addressing immediate problems and underlying patterns.
Online therapy with a licensed professional offers flexibility - sessions can be scheduled as video calls, phone conversations, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit work, family, and travel demands.
