More about David
- 8 years' experience
- Male
- LCSW
My clinical and social work experience has mostly been in homeless shelters, homelessness prevention programs, and in supportive housing apartment for people who were homeless before. I’ve done this since 2011 and continue to do so.
Because of working in these environments and with this population, I have come to meet and support individuals and families with various life problems, traumas, and emotional health, and addiction issues.
I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I hope we can get to know each other better so that I can provide you counseling sessions that will better help you.
I offer all 3 types of sessions to choose from: (1) video call; (2) voice call; or (3) live chat.
I’m not facilitating supportive groups/workshops at this time but I will look for groups available on BetterHelp that may fit your needs and share the info to you.
I'm mostly available on weekday evenings and Sundays. If you need time slots outside of that availability I may be able to accommodate at times, but If you need sessions outside of that availability to be consistent I recommend you request to be assigned to a different therapist.

About online counseling

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
