He sees how relationships, systems, and life events shape feelings and choices. He aims to help clients spot strengths and take practical steps toward change.

He has worked across public, nonprofit, higher education, and corporate settings. That range gives him experience with career transitions, education challenges, and workplace stress. He often helps adults dealing with grief, chronic illness, relationship concerns, and other major life changes.

David uses a human-centered style that focuses on listening and collaboration. Sessions tend to be goal-focused and practical. He helps clients break problems into manageable steps and try concrete strategies between meetings.

People who benefit from his approach are those facing uncertainty, career shifts, or caregiving strain. He also supports concerns around anxiety, depression, self-esteem, and identity, including LGBT issues and multicultural stressors. He will work with each person’s values and life context when planning next steps.

David’s practice in Texas includes attention to aging and caregiver stress, communication difficulties, and issues like isolation or life-purpose questions. He encourages clear, realistic goals and steady progress rather than quick fixes.

How David’s Approaches Work Online

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding your experience. The therapist follows your lead, reflects what matters, and helps you clarify values and goals. This approach can help when life changes feel overwhelming and you need someone who will hear your priorities.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect. It uses simple, practical exercises to test unhelpful thoughts and try new ways of coping. CBT is often useful for anxiety, depression, and stress when you want concrete tools to use between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with you about your needs, goals, and preferences and will suggest techniques that fit your situation. This is a collaborative process, so plans can change as you learn what helps.

Session formats are not specified here, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also let someone choose a setup that suits their energy, such as staying off camera or keeping a brief phone check-in when that works better.
