David Powell, LCSW

David Powell is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) based in Florida who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy concerns, and issues with self-esteem. He also supports people facing addiction, grief, trauma and abuse, sleep and eating concerns, parenting strain, career pressures, ADHD, and life transitions. David frames therapy as a practical, results-oriented process and encourages a fresh start when old strategies aren’t working.

He uses a mix of client-centered work, cognitive behavioral techniques, emotionally-focused ideas, Jungian perspectives, and mindfulness practices to match what each person needs. Sessions focus on clear goals, skill building, and understanding patterns that get in the way of feeling better. He also brings coaching-style tools for people who want concrete steps and measurable change.

David has 12 years of clinical experience and works with adult concerns ranging from relationship and intimacy struggles to compassion fatigue and chronic illness stress. He describes his work as straightforward and goal-minded, aiming for practical progress rather than lengthy sessions that go in circles.

People can expect a collaborative tone in sessions. He listens for what matters most, helps set realistic goals, and practices techniques in-session that clients can try between meetings. The approach is flexible and adjusts as progress unfolds.

For those interested in starting, the therapist recommends selecting the Start Therapy button, completing a short matching questionnaire, and scheduling according to availability. Sessions are offered in English and are provided within Florida.

How therapeutic approaches shape online work

Client-Centered Therapy centers the person’s experience and values. It means sessions focus on what matters to the client, with the therapist reflecting and guiding rather than imposing solutions. This approach helps when someone needs understanding and steady support for relationships, stress, or grief.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses practical exercises and small experiments to change patterns that feed anxiety, depression, or addictive behavior. CBT is useful when someone wants concrete skills to manage symptoms and daily routines.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy concentrates on patterns in close relationships and how emotions shape connection. It helps people improve intimacy, communication, and attachment issues by tracking what happens in emotionally charged moments.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped in the past, then adapt techniques from these methods. That collaborative decision makes the plan feel easier to follow and more relevant to real life.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the available session formats before booking since specific options are not listed here. Online work can make fitting therapy into a busy week easier, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and accommodate quieter or low-bandwidth situations where video isn’t ideal. Licensed professionals can adjust pacing, homework, and techniques to make progress even when sessions are remote.
