About David

David Young is a Florida-licensed mental health counselor who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and grief. With a decade of clinical experience, he emphasizes creating a respectful, nonjudgmental space where clients can explore difficult emotions and life challenges.

Background and approach

He approaches work with practical support and steady encouragement, recognizing that reaching out for help is a courageous first step. David draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address concerns ranging from depression, sleeping difficulties, and self-esteem to relationship and family issues, bipolar disorder, and ADHD.

He also has experience with a wider set of challenges including process addictions, personality-related concerns, postpartum depression, and end-of-life counseling. His practice centers on collaboration, helping people clarify goals and develop skills that fit their day-to-day lives while adapting care to each person’s pace and priorities.

Evidence-Based Approaches and Online Work



One approach emphasizes practical, evidence-based strategies that teach coping skills for managing anxiety, stress, and symptoms of mood disorders; this style focuses on identifying patterns, learning techniques to reduce distress, and applying them to everyday situations. Another commonly used method involves trauma-informed work that helps people process difficult memories and build resilience through paced interventions and supportive exploration. Both approaches are grounded in research and aim to give clients concrete tools to improve functioning and emotional regulation.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and the therapist works collaboratively with each client to determine which techniques best match their needs, goals, and preferences. Treatment plans are shaped through discussion and adjusted over time so the approach remains aligned with progress and changing circumstances.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules and to maintain continuity of care from home or elsewhere in Florida. These options let clients choose the format that feels most comfortable for skill practice, emotional processing, and regular check-ins with a licensed professional.
