David Rowland, LCSW

David Rowland is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) based in Missouri who brings a warm, relational style to therapy. He has 10 years of clinical experience and has been practicing since 2015. He works with people facing depression, anxiety, stress, anger management concerns, caregiver stress and compassion fatigue, life transitions, and aging-related issues, and he also supports those navigating grief, relationship and family challenges, trauma, sleep difficulties, bipolar disorder, and other mood concerns.

His approach is grounded in cognitive behavioral techniques, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and person-centered methods inspired by Carl Rogers. He seeks to understand each person beyond their presenting problem, inviting conversation about life circumstances, values, and goals so that solutions can emerge from a fuller picture of the individual. David aims to connect through empathy, compassion, and occasionally gentle humor to create a collaborative atmosphere for change.

Originally from Missouri and raised in Colorado, he balances his professional life with interests in sports, music, food, movies, and family time. He is married and a father of two grown children. David is licensed in Missouri - MO LCSW 2017039593 - and uses his clinical training to help clients find practical ways to cope, adapt, and move forward.

Approach-Focused Care Delivered Online

David uses evidence-informed methods to guide online work, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and develop psychological flexibility - learning to make room for difficult thoughts and feelings while taking actions that matter to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying patterns of thought and behavior that contribute to distress and teaching practical skills to change those patterns, which can help with anxiety, depression, and sleep problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. David collaborates with each person to determine which strategies fit their needs, goals, and personal preferences, adjusting methods as progress unfolds. This collaborative stance helps tailor sessions to what matters most to the client and fosters a sense of shared direction.

Online therapy with David is offered by video call, phone session, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing flexibility to fit work, family, or health needs. These options make it easier to access consistent support from licensed professionals without needing to travel, so clients can engage in therapy in ways that suit their schedules and comfort levels.
