About David
David Finucane is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in Florida. He draws on six years of clinical work to help people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, anger, or life changes. He emphasizes a straightforward, respectful style and treats each person as the expert on their own story.
He uses practical approaches that help people notice what matters, change unhelpful thinking, and build kinder habits toward themselves.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on clear goals and simple tools you can use between meetings. David aims to make the first steps feel manageable for someone who is nervous about starting therapy. Clients often come for help with relationship strain, parenting challenges, grief, trauma, or struggles with sleep and eating.
He also supports people coping with addictions, ADHD, and compassion fatigue. Work can include improving communication, setting boundaries, and finding routines that reduce daily stress. David draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to shape sessions.
That means combining values-focused work, active listening, and practical exercises to test new ways of coping. He adapts those methods to match each person’s goals and pace. Sessions are offered via video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules.
David speaks English and practices in Florida as a LMHC. If you are exploring therapy for parenting or other life challenges, he guides the intake steps and helps set a clear plan.

How therapeutic approaches work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values while learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and coping with life transitions.Client-Centered Therapy centers the person's experience through empathic listening and reflection. That approach aims to help people feel heard and to build on their existing strengths while they make changes at their own pace.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing practical behavior changes. It is useful for anxiety, mood problems, anger, sleep or eating issues, and many daily stressors.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has helped or not helped in the past. Together they pick and adapt methods so sessions match your needs and tempo.
Online formats available include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and shared exercises. Phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and messaging can fit brief updates, coaching-style support, or people who prefer typed communication. These options make it easier to schedule therapy around work, caregiving, or other commitments.
