David Weiss, LMHC

David Weiss is a licensed mental health counselor with more than a decade of clinical experience working with individuals and families in Florida and beyond. He brings practical experience across addiction services and child and family work, and he focuses on helping people navigate stress, anxiety, anger, depression, self-esteem struggles, relationship and family concerns, grief, sleep difficulties, parenting challenges, career issues, ADHD, and compassion fatigue.

He uses a mix of evidence-informed methods tailored to each person - including cognitive behavioral techniques, client-centered approaches, attachment-informed work, solution-focused strategies, and motivational interviewing - alongside psychoeducation to help clients build skills and insight. David frames therapy around the idea that personal change begins with the individual; by strengthening self-awareness and coping skills, clients can better manage their circumstances and relationships.

Known for a compassionate and steady manner, he approaches therapy as a collaborative journey that can be short or long depending on needs. He does not promise quick fixes or simple answers, but he does commit to supporting clients so they do not feel alone as they work toward clearer goals and healthier patterns. LMHC stands for Licensed Mental Health Counselor - a credential indicating he is licensed to provide professional mental health counseling.

Therapeutic Approaches for Flexible Online Care

David Weiss draws on approaches that translate well to remote work and focus on practical change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and teaches concrete skills for managing anxiety, depression, anger, and sleep problems. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental therapeutic relationship where the client’s goals and pace guide the work, which is helpful for building self-esteem and addressing relationship or attachment concerns. Attachment-Based Therapy explores patterns formed in early relationships and how they affect current communication, trust, and intimacy, offering a path to improved family and romantic relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. David works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and he adjusts strategies as progress evolves. This collaborative stance helps tailor sessions to what matters most to the client.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to accommodate schedules, mobility, and geographic distance. These options make it easier to maintain consistency, access care from different locations, and continue work between sessions in ways that fit a client’s life.
