About

Although his profile lists John, he prefers to go by his middle name, David. He is a licensed therapist practicing in Virginia and also holds a license to provide mental health counseling in Indiana. He brings 18 years of professional experience to his work.

David has extensive experience supporting people with co-occurring mental health and substance use disorders and focuses on areas such as addictions, depression, trauma and abuse, and career-related difficulties. As a veteran and a former first responder, he understands many of the distinct experiences faced by those communities and takes particular satisfaction in serving people who have served their community and nation.

He adapts to the communication style that feels most effective for each person while emphasizing the importance of staying connected - he encourages at least occasional video sessions. David asks that all clients complete a video session early in the therapeutic relationship and participate in video sessions periodically thereafter.

David approaches therapy from the perspective that each person is the expert on themselves. He aims to listen, guide, explore, support, and empower individuals on their “wellness expedition.” He acknowledges the courage involved in beginning therapy and supports those taking the first steps toward a more fulfilling and happier life.

Is Online Therapy the Right Step Toward Better Mental Health?

For many common concerns - including stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, and navigating life transitions - online therapy can be as effective as traditional in-person sessions. Research and practice have shown that these types of issues often respond well to remote care.

A major benefit is flexibility. People can connect with therapists in the format that fits their life best - whether through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging - which makes it easier to attend sessions consistently.

All therapists involved are licensed professionals, and clients have the option to switch providers if they decide they need a different therapeutic fit. Online therapy offers an adaptable way to pursue mental health goals while maintaining regular access to professional support.
