David Weiss, LMHC

David Weiss is a licensed mental health counselor with 13 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, anger, and low self-esteem. He uses straightforward, practical work in sessions so people can make day-to-day changes. David speaks English and provides services from his Florida practice. He blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with client-centered and solution-focused tools. This means he helps people notice unhelpful thoughts, set small goals, and use their own strengths to solve problems. Sessions often focus on what someone can try between meetings to see real change. David has worked across addiction services and child and family settings earlier in his career. That background informs his approach to issues like parenting, family conflict, and substance use concerns. He also supports people facing grief, career stress, sleep problems, and compassion fatigue. In session he emphasizes practical steps and clear feedback. He encourages people to name what matters most, try specific skills, and track progress. Conversations are grounded and aimed at making daily life feel more manageable. He also works with attention-related concerns such as ADHD and with relationship challenges including communication problems, trust, and infidelity. David combines motivational interviewing when people need help finding momentum, alongside attachment ideas when patterns from close relationships are part of the problem.

Using CBT and Attachment Ideas in Online Care

The practice draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thought patterns and practice small, concrete behavior changes that reduce anxiety or lift mood. Attachment-Based Therapy is used when relationship patterns and early bonds shape current struggles, helping people understand why certain reactions happen and try new ways of relating.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust the plan together as progress is tracked. That way sessions stay focused on immediate needs while building longer-term skills.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care flexible. Video works well for in-depth conversations and role-play exercises. Phone sessions can be simpler when someone needs a shorter check-in or has limited bandwidth. Live chat and text messaging let people check in between sessions or share quick updates when life feels busy. These options help therapy fit into work, parenting, and travel schedules.
