About David
David Young is a licensed mental health counselor who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, grief, and mood concerns like depression and bipolar disorder. He practices in Florida and communicates in English. He uses a direct, straightforward approach so conversations stay clear and focused on what matters most to each person.
Clients can expect sessions that prioritize being heard without judgment. David aims to make it easier to talk about painful experiences, including trauma, loss, and relationship strain.
Background and approach
He also supports people dealing with sleep problems, parenting stress, low self-esteem, and ADHD-related challenges. Over ten years of clinical work inform his practice, so he draws on practical tools alongside listening and reflection. He helps people set small, doable goals and tries to break problems into steps that feel manageable.
That can include coping skills for anxiety, strategies to address addictive behaviors, and ways to rebuild routine after loss or crisis. David also works with concerns such as personality difficulties, paranoia, infidelity, and end-of-life stress for people facing hospice situations. He addresses young adult issues, postpartum depression, self-harm behaviors, and smoking or vaping cessation when these come up in sessions.
The tone in sessions is collaborative. David helps each person figure out what they want to change and then supports the work of getting there. He encourages honesty and steady progress while keeping conversations practical and grounded.
Practical approaches and online care that fit your life
David uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques focused on practical change. One common approach is skills-based work that teaches coping strategies for anxiety, sleep problems, and ADHD-related challenges; this involves learning simple tools and practicing them between sessions. Another approach emphasizes problem-focused counseling for addictions and grief, where sessions break problems into steps and build plans to reduce harmful behaviors and restore routine.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, try different methods, and adjust the plan based on what helps. Clients and the clinician decide together which techniques to prioritize and when to try alternatives.
Online therapy is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make counseling more flexible. Video calls let people use visual cues and a fuller conversation. Phone sessions can fit into a work break or require less bandwidth. Live chat or text sessions work well for brief check-ins, ongoing support between meetings, or when typing feels easier than talking. These formats help people access care from different locations and on varied schedules.
