Online support
Approaches that guide online sessions
David blends Existential Therapy with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Client-Centered Therapy in online work. Existential Therapy helps people look at meaning, choices, and the values that shape their lives, which can be useful for someone facing big life decisions or feelings of emptiness. ACT focuses on accepting difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to actions tied to personal values, which helps with anxiety, depression, and motivation. Client-Centered Therapy centers the conversation on the person's experience, using empathy and listening to create a space where goals and next steps can emerge.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with each person to pick methods that match their goals and comfort level. That collaborative process may mix reflective conversation with practical skill-building so sessions feel relevant to daily life.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls let people see facial cues and do longer work, phone sessions can be lower-bandwidth and easier to fit into a busy day, live chat is useful for shorter check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options aim to make therapy more flexible and accessible for different schedules and needs.
