About David
LMHC in Massachusetts with seven years of experience, David Lassoff focuses on stress, anxiety, addiction, depression, and related concerns. He offers straightforward, goal-oriented care that centers on what a person wants to change.
David uses a mix of approaches to guide sessions. He draws on Client-Centered methods to listen and reflect. He uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot and change patterns of thinking and behavior. He also incorporates Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills, Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused techniques when they fit the situation.
He has worked in educational, residential, and outpatient settings. That variety shaped his practice and how he talks about coping, parenting, and work-related stress. He has experience with depression, anxiety, ADHD, relationship difficulties, grief, and trauma and abuse.
In sessions David keeps the work practical. He helps people set clear goals, try concrete strategies, and check progress. He avoids labels that feel stigmatizing and adjusts pacing to what each person can handle.
Parents and young adults often come with concerns about parenting, fatherhood issues, smoking or vaping cessation, and separation or divorce. He also addresses drug and alcohol addiction and family problems through brief skills work and motivational conversations.
To begin, a short matching questionnaire and an initial session are used to define goals and plan next steps. Cost varies with location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

How his approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening, reflection, and working at the client's pace. Online sessions can preserve that focus by using conversation and reflective feedback to clarify goals and values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets unhelpful thinking and behavior with practical exercises and homework. In a remote session CBT often means using brief skill-building, worksheets, and focused practice between meetings. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) supplies concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. Online sessions can introduce these skills and rehearse them in short, usable steps.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. David will discuss what methods fit a person's goals and preferences and will adapt the plan as progress is reviewed. The decision is collaborative and based on needs, not a fixed program.
The exact session formats are not specified here, so confirm current options before booking. In general online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - they can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins on busy days, and let people work on skills between meetings. They also make it straightforward to follow up on parenting or work-related issues that come up in daily life.
