About David

David Lassoff is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in Massachusetts who blends practical, evidence-informed methods with a respectful, person-focused stance.

Background and approach

With seven years of clinical experience and a master’s degree in Mental Health and Behavioral Medicine, he has worked across educational, residential, and outpatient settings and assisted people facing depression, anxiety, relationship strains, parenting challenges, trauma, substance concerns, attention difficulties such as ADHD, and other life transitions.

He emphasizes collaboration and tailors interventions to each person's needs rather than relying on stigmatizing labels. His therapeutic stance is supportive and solution-focused, drawing on cognitive-behavioral techniques, client-centered principles, dialectical strategies, and motivational interviewing to build coping skills and practical change.

Sessions are shaped to address short-term goals like smoking or vaping cessation and addiction recovery as well as longer-term work around self-esteem, grief, anger, and career matters. David aims to create a compassionate, straightforward space where clients can explore options and develop tools for everyday challenges.

Those ready to pursue change will find an approach that balances empathy with structured techniques and goal-oriented planning. He invites prospective clients to start with a matching process and schedule sessions according to mutual availability.

Integrating evidence-based approaches with online care

David Lassoff commonly uses cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) to help clients identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop practical strategies for managing symptoms like anxiety, depression, or attention-related challenges. CBT emphasizes skill-building and structured exercises that translate well to talk-based sessions and homework between appointments.

He also draws on client-centered therapy, which prioritizes empathic listening and the client's own perspective when shaping goals and treatment. This humanistic stance supports self-directed growth and pairs naturally with motivational interviewing when exploring readiness for change around habits such as substance use or smoking cessation.

Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to assess their needs, preferences, and goals and then recommend a mix of techniques that fit their situation. Adjustments are made over time so the plan remains practical and relevant.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for people with busy schedules or limited travel ability. These formats allow for focused skill work, ongoing check-ins, and convenient access to care while maintaining continuity with the chosen therapeutic methods.
