David Weiss

David Weiss is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) based in Florida with 13 years of experience. He focuses on practical, person-centered work that helps people manage anger, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, and stress. He aims to make therapy straightforward and useful for everyday life.

He emphasizes looking at how a person shows up in life as the starting point for change. Sessions typically involve talking through current problems, learning new ways to respond, and practicing skills between meetings. He uses clear, goal-oriented steps rather than abstract theory.

David has experience across addiction services and child and family settings. That background informs his work with relationship strain, family problems, parenting challenges, and patterns like codependency or communication problems. He also supports people coping with grief, career stress, sleep trouble, and compassion fatigue.

His methods include cognitive behavioral techniques, solution-focused strategies, and client-centered care. These approaches are used to challenge unhelpful thoughts, set small achievable goals, and keep the client's own priorities at the center of sessions. He also draws on attachment-based ideas when relationship history helps explain current struggles.

In sessions he combines practical skill-building with a compassionate stance. He invites people to try approaches and see what works for them. The process is collaborative, with attention to small changes that add up over time.

How these approaches translate to online work

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current responses. Online sessions can use this lens to spot repeating patterns in relationships and try different ways of relating. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the client's lead so the person feels heard and respected; it supports exploring difficult feelings and deciding what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors; online sessions can include practice tasks and short exercises to do between meetings.

Finding the best approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their needs and goals. That collaborative process may shift over time as new issues emerge or progress is made.

The therapist's biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when useful, and reduce travel time. It also makes it possible to continue work if someone relocates or needs to coordinate across time zones. Licensed professionals can adapt these approaches for therapy sessions delivered remotely, focusing on practical skills and consistent progress.
