About David

His style is direct and collaborative. He helps clients build skills, try new behaviors, and notice what gets in the way. He also attends to family and relationship stresses that show up in individual work.
People can expect practical tools and regular check-ins on progress. David offers services in English and accepts international clients. To start, readers are asked to use the site's Start Therapy flow to match and schedule a session.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Motivational Interviewing focuses on your own reasons for change and on building motivation step by step. Online sessions using this stance center on honest conversation, setting small goals, and planning doable next steps.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. In remote sessions this often means practicing simple exercises, tracking values-based actions, and reviewing what helped between meetings.
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. When used online, the therapist and client talk through relationship histories and practice new ways of relating that can reduce anxiety and improve connection.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That choice is revisited as progress happens so methods stay useful.
Practical benefits of online therapy include easier scheduling and fitting sessions into a busy life. If you need shorter check-ins or prefer not to be on camera, those options can be discussed when arranging sessions. Because the biography does not list specific formats, confirm which session types are offered before booking to make sure they fit your routine. -
