About
David Coalter is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) with 20 years of experience who works with adults and brings a direct, practical style to therapy. He emphasizes using well-supported, science-informed methods and keeps the work focused on meaningful change rather than quick fixes or gimmicks.
His practice centers on recovery from trauma and the ways trauma can shape emotions, relationships, and day-to-day functioning. David helps clients strengthen emotional regulation, address patterns that keep relationships stuck or strained, and move toward a life that feels more intentional and self-directed. The goal is to support clients in building real-world skills and a clearer path forward, especially when past experiences have made it difficult to feel steady, connected, or in control of their choices.

Practical online therapy grounded in proven approaches
David Coalter draws from evidence-informed approaches that keep therapy focused on real-life change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors influence each other, and it can be especially useful when stress, anxiety, depression, or anger patterns feel hard to interrupt. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients make room for difficult internal experiences while taking steps toward what matters most, which can support people working through trauma, grief, and major life changes. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, supportive relationship where clients can explore experiences at their own pace and build clarity about what they want next.Finding the right approach is part of the work. David collaborates with clients to understand their goals, preferences, and what has or has not helped in the past, then adjusts the style and tools accordingly so sessions stay relevant and actionable.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. This range of options can make it easier to fit support into a busy schedule, continue care while traveling, and choose a format that feels most comfortable from week to week.
