David Fonseca

David Fonseca is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in California. He helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, depression, and major life changes. He communicates in both English and Spanish to support a wider range of clients.

Before becoming a therapist, he worked as a case manager focused on crisis intervention. That background informs how he responds when emotions feel intense or overwhelming. He draws on seven years of clinical experience to guide sessions at a steady pace.

His approach combines cognitive therapy with solution-focused techniques. In practice that means noticing unhelpful thought patterns, testing new ways of thinking, and setting small, practical steps to try between sessions. The work tends to be goal-oriented and focused on real changes in daily life.

Sessions often include talking through recent events, learning tools to manage strong reactions, and planning specific behavior changes. He also addresses related concerns such as communication problems, impulsivity, mood disorders, post-traumatic stress, and social anxiety or phobia. The tone is straightforward and action-focused, with attention to what is most urgent for the person in front of him.

People who choose him can expect a collaborative process that balances short-term problem solving with deeper skill-building. He asks questions to clarify priorities, suggests practical exercises, and tracks progress over time.

How therapy approaches translate to online work

David uses cognitive therapy and solution-focused techniques in accessible, practical ways. Cognitive therapy focuses on recognizing and testing thoughts that increase distress, then practicing new, balanced ways of thinking that reduce anger and anxiety. Solution-focused techniques concentrate on small, achievable steps and clear goals to create fast, visible changes in daily routines.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. He collaborates with each person to pick methods that fit their goals and preferences. That process involves trying strategies, tracking what helps, and adjusting the plan together over time.

Confirm the specific session options before booking, as formats are not listed in this biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow check-ins that support steady progress. It can also allow shorter or more frequent contacts when a quick skills practice or brief check-in is useful. Licensed professionals can adapt the pace and tools to match what works best for each person’s daily life.
