He introduces himself simply and directly, and aims to meet people where they are. David works from Georgia and brings a calm, respectful presence to sessions.

He trained with a Master of Social Work and has ten years of clinical experience as an LCSW and CSW. David uses a person-centered approach that focuses on the client’s goals and pace. He combines that with practical tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness to help with thinking patterns, mood, and daily coping.

People come to him for many concerns including anger, low self-esteem, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, and career or life-change stress. He also supports clients dealing with aging and geriatric issues, cancer, caregiver strain, hospice and end-of-life counseling, and veteran-related matters. He listens first, then works with each person to shape next steps.

Sessions typically focus on clear goals, small skills to practice between visits, and honest conversation about what’s working and what’s not. Motivational interviewing is used when people want help finding the energy to make changes. Mindfulness tools help with managing stress and grounding in difficult moments.

David describes his style as warm and compassionate, and he emphasizes respect and dignity in every visit. He encourages people who feel stuck, empty, or overwhelmed to reach out and begin a process of steady change.

How his approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the client's lead, helping people feel understood and supported as they name goals and pace their work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors, offering clear exercises and small experiments to change unhelpful patterns and reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and grounding practices that reduce stress and help people respond more calmly to strong feelings.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the therapy process. He will collaborate with each person to decide which methods to try and will adjust based on how things are going, goals, and personal preferences. The plan is adapted together rather than fixed in advance.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Many people choose online sessions because they can fit therapy into busy days, avoid travel time, and use shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Online work also makes it easier to continue care during life transitions and to practice skills between meetings.
