Therapeutic approaches and working online
David draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values rather than being driven by every worry. This approach can help with anxiety, avoidance, and decisions that feel stuck.He also uses Attachment-Based Therapy ideas to look at how early relationship patterns influence current closeness and communication. That work is aimed at understanding why certain interactions trigger strong reactions and finding new ways to connect or set boundaries.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. David treats therapy as a collaboration and will help figure out which methods fit a person’s needs, goals, and preferences. Together they may try different techniques and adjust based on what helps most.
