About David
David Garozzo-Vaglio is an AHPRA-registered counsellor with seven years of experience. He helps people who are stressed, anxious, having trouble sleeping, feeling low, or coping with major life changes. He works in plain language and aims to make conversations calm and approachable.
He meets each person where they are and tailors sessions to their needs. That might mean focusing on practical routines for better sleep, ways to reduce panic, or steps to manage persistent worry.
Background and approach
He also supports people facing chronic pain, ageing questions, grief, traumatic brain injury, and process addictions such as gambling or exercise compulsion. Sessions are shaped by respect, sensitivity, and compassion. He encourages honest talk and simple strategies you can try between meetings.
He can discuss life purpose and building more self-compassion when those topics come up. David speaks English, French and Italian and works from Australia. He uses approaches grounded in evidence and adapts them to each person’s goals.
The emphasis is on useful tools and steady progress rather than jargon. People who choose him can expect clear steps, gentle challenge, and a focus on what helps day to day. He asks about what matters to you and builds plans that fit your routine and priorities.
How evidence-based methods work online
David uses well-established, evidence-based techniques and adapts them to online formats. One common approach focuses on skills for anxiety and panic - teaching breathing, grounding and paced exposure to reduce avoidance and fear. This helps with phobias and panic attacks by building tolerance step by step.Another approach concentrates on sleep and mood regulation. That work includes routines, stimulus control and simple behavioural changes to improve sleep and lift low mood. These strategies are practical and designed to be tried between sessions so progress can be tracked.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals and comfort level. Sessions begin with a conversation about what is most important and adapt as progress is made.
Online formats make this flexible. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversations and guided exercises. Phone sessions suit people with lower bandwidth or when being on camera is not wanted. Live chat and text messaging work well for quick check-ins, short strategies, or regular support between longer sessions. These options help fit therapy around work, family and daily life.
