Many clients come with relationship strains or family conflict. He addresses blended family issues, communication problems, commitment questions, and family of origin concerns. He also works with process addictions such as problematic pornography use, gambling, or exercise, plus panic attacks, phobias, social anxiety, and feelings of emptiness, guilt, or shame.
Expect a direct, conversational style that looks at thoughts, behaviors, and relationship patterns. Sessions include active listening, feedback, and strategies drawn from the listed methods. Mindfulness practices and motivational interviewing are used when they help move a goal forward.
To begin, people typically complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. David notes that costs vary by location and that sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. International clients are not accepted.

How these approaches translate to remote sessions
CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing behavioral changes. In an online conversation this looks like tracking patterns between sessions, trying small experiments, and reviewing what worked or didn’t. The Gottman Method emphasizes communication tools and relationship exercises. Remotely, couples or partners (if applicable) can practice these skills together and get real-time coaching on interactions. Mindfulness Therapy teaches attention and grounding practices to reduce reactivity and increase clarity. Online meetings often include short guided exercises and homework to build a daily practice.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match goals, preferences, and the problems they want to solve. That means trying techniques, reviewing progress, and adjusting the plan together rather than committing to a single method up front.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by reducing travel time and allowing meetings from different locations. They also let people use shorter check-ins, audio-only conversations when bandwidth is limited, or longer sessions when more time is needed. Discuss format preferences during the matching and scheduling steps to find what works best.
