About David
David Ramstad is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) licensed in Colorado with 22 years of clinical experience. He works with adults facing stress, anxiety, addiction, relationship strain, grief, depression, parenting concerns, and family of origin issues. He also supports people dealing with ADHD, bipolar mood concerns, anger, and career or life changes.
David combines straightforward conversation with practical ideas. Sessions focus on listening, clarifying goals, and trying approaches that fit day-to-day life. He uses several therapy methods and adapts them to each person's circumstances rather than following a single script.
In practice he keeps the work grounded. That can mean learning specific skills for managing anxiety, practicing new ways to talk in relationships, or looking at how early family roles still shape current behavior. He also helps people sort through feelings after separation, parenting stress, or grief.
David describes his role as collaborative. He draws on clinical models and personal life experience to keep suggestions practical. Clients can expect clear feedback and options to try between sessions.
People who come to him often want to change patterns learned in their family of origin, repair communication, or reduce the impact of stress on daily life. He supports clients who want to make concrete changes and understand the habits that keep them stuck.
How his approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the client. It helps people feel heard and clarify their priorities during conversation. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors and teaches practical skills to reduce anxiety and manage mood. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) brings skills for regulating emotion and handling conflict or intense reactions.Choosing the best approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, and then try methods that fit the client's needs. This is a collaborative process and may shift as goals change.
Confirm the current session formats before booking, since session options are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people use video or audio depending on bandwidth or comfort level. Talk with the therapist about which format would best match your schedule and the kind of work you want to do.
