Background and approach
In session he draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. He also uses Narrative Therapy to help people reframe their stories and Motivational Interviewing to build commitment when change feels hard. These methods support work on intimacy issues, grief, anger, and recovery from abuse or addiction.
Clients can expect a plan that is tailored to their situation. He helps set clear, manageable goals and checks progress regularly. This practical focus is useful for coping with life changes, decision points, and parenting challenges.

Approaches that translate well to online care
David often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes. CBT is useful for anxiety, phobias, sleep problems, and stress-related patterns.He also uses Mindfulness Therapy to build attention to the present moment and reduce reactivity. Mindfulness practices help with anxiety, anger, and sleep by teaching simple ways to settle the body and mind.
Narrative Therapy appears in his work to help people rewrite difficult personal stories and reduce the hold of painful memories or labels. This can be helpful for trauma recovery, identity concerns, and feelings of emptiness.
Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't worked before. Together they will try methods that fit the person’s life and adjust plans as needed.
Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls let people use visual cues for deeper conversation. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or a quieter setup is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for brief check-ins, homework support, or when writing feels easier than talking. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into busy routines and to continue momentum between appointments.
