How David Uses Practical Therapies Online
David commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of thinking and behaving; this approach is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep trouble, and ADHD-related patterns. He also draws on mindfulness therapy to teach simple attention and breathing practices that reduce reactivity and improve focus and calm. Narrative therapy is used to help people rewrite the stories they tell about themselves so they can move forward with more agency.Deciding which approach to use is collaborative. The therapist will listen to your goals and concerns and then suggest methods that fit your style and needs. Together you can try an approach and adjust it over time based on what is helpful.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video works well for in-depth conversation and seeing nonverbal cues, phone can be used when bandwidth is limited, live chat is good for short check-ins, and messaging lets people send brief updates or reflections between sessions. These options make it easier to schedule sessions around work, family, or other commitments while keeping the focus on practical progress.
