About David
David Weiss is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with 13 years of experience. He focuses on practical, down-to-earth support for parents dealing with stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, and life changes. He talks plainly and aims to help people make steady changes that fit their daily routines.
In sessions he draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Client-Centered work, and Attachment-Based ideas to help people understand patterns and try different behaviors.
Background and approach
He uses short, goal-focused steps as well as deeper conversations about relationships and family dynamics. That mix lets him address both immediate problems and longer-standing patterns. Parents often come for help with sleep struggles, coping with grief, or managing a child-related crisis.
He also supports people facing addiction, impulsivity, communication problems, and codependency. The work usually involves setting small, manageable goals and practicing skills between sessions. David emphasizes clear communication and collaboration.
He listens first, then suggests practical tools like thought tracking, behavioral experiments, and focused problem-solving. He frames progress as a series of small wins rather than sudden fixes. Clients can expect straightforward language and a calm presence in the room.
He believes change starts with noticing current choices and then trying different responses. Sessions aim to leave people with one or two concrete steps they can use right away.

Therapeutic approaches and online care
David uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try specific behavior changes. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep issues, and managing strong emotions by testing new ways of thinking and acting.He also uses Attachment-Based Therapy ideas to look at how early relationship patterns affect current behavior. That approach can help with family tension, communication problems, and feelings of disconnection by exploring how people relate to others and experimenting with new interaction patterns.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. He discusses goals and preferences with each person and adapts techniques accordingly. That collaborative planning helps decide whether to focus on skills practice, problem-solving, or exploring relationship patterns.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video is useful for deeper conversations and nonverbal cues, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat fits quick check-ins, and messaging supports brief ongoing coaching and reflections between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into parenting schedules, work breaks, or times when leaving home is difficult.
