More about David
- 12 years' experience
- Male
- LCSW
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Florida with nearly 12 years of profession experiencing helping people struggling with a variety of issues. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, gender issues, career challenges, and substance use issues. I have also worked with aging and end of life issues.
My counseling style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating anyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, solution-focused and acceptance and commitment therapies. However, I believe that most important of all is connecting with my clients so that they feel safe and thereby able to be honest about what their struggles might be. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.
It takes courage to seek for a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. If you are ready to take that step I am here to support and empower you.
I look forward to working with you!

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
