David Powell, LCSW

David Powell is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Florida who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy concerns, and problems with self-esteem. He also supports those dealing with grief, addictions, sleep and eating issues, ADHD, and the strain that comes with caregiving or chronic health conditions. David writes plainly and focuses on practical steps clients can use in day-to-day life.

He brings 12 years of clinical experience to sessions and uses a mix of approaches to match each person's needs. Sessions involve straightforward conversation, goal setting, and tools you can practice between meetings. He combines client-centered listening with cognitive behavior ideas and emotional work to help people notice patterns and make changes.

David also draws on mindfulness techniques to reduce stress and improve focus. He incorporates Emotionally-Focused Therapy ideas when relationships and closeness are central concerns. He uses Jungian perspectives at times to help people understand recurring themes in their lives.

In practice he aims for a collaborative process: you say what matters, and he helps plan next steps. He is comfortable addressing practical life problems such as job stress, parenting strain, and navigating major life changes. His style is direct but respectful, with an emphasis on measurable progress.

If you decide to begin, expect clear short-term goals and homework that fits into a busy life. Sessions emphasize concrete skills alongside deeper emotional work so gains can last beyond the therapy room.

How David’s Approaches Translate to Online Work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, understanding your goals, and shaping sessions around what matters most to you. This approach helps when you need someone to hear your concerns and help you decide next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and teaches practical techniques to change them; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centers on feelings and how they affect close relationships, helping people identify and change patterns that lead to disconnection.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process. The therapist works collaboratively with each person to decide which combination of methods fits best. That decision is based on your goals, current challenges, and what you prefer to try first.

Confirm current session formats before booking because the profile does not list specific options. Online work can help fit therapy into a busy life by reducing travel time, making it easier to join between work or caregiving responsibilities, and allowing brief check-ins when a longer appointment is hard to arrange. Some approaches translate well to shorter skills-focused meetings while others benefit from deeper, longer conversations; the therapist will help match session length and focus to your needs.
