About David
David Kaplan is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker - Clinical (LCSW-C) in Maryland with 15 years of experience. He focuses on stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and coping with life changes. He works with people who are managing difficult emotions and transitions and offers a straightforward, strengths-based way of working.
David starts by listening to a person’s story and identifying what’s already helping. He treats clients as the experts on their own lives and builds on practical strengths and routines. Sessions typically focus on small, doable steps to reduce distress and improve day-to-day functioning.
His style is collaborative and direct. He takes time to learn what matters to each person and then picks approaches that fit those goals. That might include talking through recent losses, practicing ways to reduce anxious moments, or adjusting daily habits that affect mood.
He aims to make therapy clear and manageable. Appointments are used to set simple goals and try concrete strategies between sessions. Progress is reviewed regularly so plans can change as needed.
People who choose David often want a pragmatic approach rather than a lot of theory. He helps with immediate problems like panic, low mood, and grief, and with broader shifts such as adapting to a major life change. Sessions are in English and located in Maryland.

Therapeutic approaches and how they translate to remote work
David uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques focused on practical problem solving and coping skills. One common approach involves behavioral strategies that change daily routines and habits to reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety; this helps by breaking large problems into small actions that can be practiced between sessions. Another approach emphasizes grief-focused support, which includes talking through loss, identifying meaningful rituals, and finding manageable ways to remember and adjust after a loss.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. He will review your goals, recent history, and what has or hasn’t helped before recommending methods to try. The process is collaborative and adjusted as progress is reviewed, so approaches can change if they don’t fit your needs.
Confirm the specific session formats before booking since the biography does not list them. In general, online appointments can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce time spent traveling. These practical benefits help clients keep therapy consistent while balancing work, family, and other obligations.
