Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening to the client and building understanding from their perspective. It focuses on validating feelings and helping people tap into their own strengths, which can be helpful for those facing life changes, relationship strain, or a sense of emptiness.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers practical tools to identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. It is commonly used to address stress, anxiety, mood concerns, and the reactions that follow traumatic events.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people explore emotional patterns in relationships and chart new ways of connecting. It can be especially useful for couples and individuals working through attachment wounds, communication problems, or the aftermath of infidelity or separation.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. David collaborates with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, to access care from home, and to maintain continuity of support when life or location changes occur.
