David is an excellent therapist. I'm new to therapy and I was initially assigned a therapist that I did not click with. I joined David's mens group therapy session and I enjoyed his energy so I put in a request to have him as my personal therapist. I'm glad I did. I feel that David really listens to me, he remembers what we talked about. He is attentive, Introspective and relatable. Very comfortable to talk to and genuine in his approach. He understands and respects the spiritual components to life. Highly recommended
More about David
- 6 years' experience
- Male
- LPC
I am in my 6th year as a Licensed Professional Counselor, this is who I am, not what I do. Doing what I love is effortless and natural to me so our time together may also feel natural and easy. Most of my professional experience has centered around fear-based struggles: stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, transitions, relationships, past experiences... I use these terms that are common however they feel like boxes; my finding is that everyone comes into these spaces differently, experiences them differently and moves out of them differently.
Counseling is an art form; I am here to assist you with identifying and then creating the picture you want for your life. The canvas for this is a Person-Centered approach. The originator of this philosophy, Carl Rogers, said this is often all that is needed to facilitate change. I have a variety of other tools for us that may prove useful; DBT, CBT, Narrative Therapy, Internal Family Systems, Breathwork, Yoga, Transactional Analysis, Hypnotherapy, Existential Therapy, Trauma Therapy and REBT are the most common. They are all amazing in their own way.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

He makes me feel comfortable to talk
David is an extremely caring, understanding, and helpful person. He has been highly polite and reads the room far better than I expected from online therapy. David is one of the best, and I highly recommend him.
Kind
David was able to help me resolve negative self-worth issues that have been plaguing me for over 35 years. Working with David I've also been able to improve my relationship with my daughters and my wife. I am deeply grateful for David's guidance and support. I felt seen and heard. I highly recommend working with David.
I enjoyed working with David, he had a way of being able to see through the mess and muddle that exists in our mind and making things seem more simple, straightforward and resolvable. I am a counsellor myself, so I know he's pretty good!
David has been very gentle with me. He understands the pain and I feel I can confide in him. My only problem is hes in America and Im in England so our time zones are a bit different. Regardless, that hasnt stopped him from providing me with routes to help me.
