David Pecoraro brings 37 years of clinical experience as a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist practicing in California. He has assisted individuals and couples dealing with challenges such as poor couples communication, relationship conflict, addictions, mood disorders, and the effects of past trauma and emotional abuse.
He has a long track record of helping people shift how they approach problem solving, especially in the context of couples conflict, using practical conflict resolution skills and a clear grasp of how relationships are maintained over time. His clinical work combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, the Gottman Method, and psychodynamic therapy to address both emotional patterns and practical relationship dynamics.
Treatment plans are developed collaboratively with clients so that goals and interventions align with each person or couple’s specific needs. Beyond his primary specialties, he also works with issues related to divorce and separation, family of origin concerns, mood disorders including bipolar disorder and depression, fatherhood issues, and domestic violence and anger management.
He holds a California license as a Marriage and Family Therapist and applies decades of experience to support clients in making sustainable changes in their relationships and daily lives.
Many people wonder whether online therapy can really help. For a range of common concerns - including stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, and navigating life changes - online therapy has been shown to be comparable in effectiveness to traditional in-person sessions.
One of the main benefits is flexibility. Clients can connect with therapists in the format that suits them best: video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging. This flexibility often makes it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule.
All participating therapists are licensed professionals, and clients have the option to switch therapists if they feel a different fit would be more helpful. Online therapy offers an accessible way to receive professional support for many common mental health and relationship concerns.
