This combination is applied thoughtfully depending on presenting concerns, whether the focus is on trauma recovery, mood regulation, or rebuilding self-worth. David emphasizes the importance of being heard, understood and accepted as the foundation for meaningful progress.
David works collaboratively with clients to identify goals and break limiting patterns that interfere with daily life. He encourages anyone ready for positive change to reach out, noting that transformation takes courage but is achievable with consistent, experienced support. David Covey LMFT
Evidence-based approaches for online trauma and mood work
David commonly uses EMDR and cognitive behavioral techniques in his online practice. EMDR involves structured processing of distressing memories and sensations to reduce anxiety and reactivity related to trauma, often producing noticeable relief in emotional responses. Cognitive behavioral approaches focus on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, helping people manage symptoms of anxiety, depression, anger, and low self-esteem by building practical coping skills and new patterns of thinking.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and David works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. He reviews progress regularly and adjusts the plan as needed so treatment stays relevant and effective.
Online therapy offers flexibility in how sessions are delivered, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to attend appointments from home or work, accommodate busy schedules, and maintain continuity of care over time. For many people, remote sessions support consistent progress while allowing therapists and clients to focus on practical, evidence-based work together.
