About David

David Powell is an LCSW based in Florida who helps people address a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy-related issues, ADHD, depression, addictions, grief, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, and career challenges.

Background and approach

With 12 years of clinical practice, he draws on several therapeutic traditions to guide clients through complex problems such as eating and sleeping difficulties, compassion fatigue, bipolar disorder, and coping with life changes. His style emphasizes collaboration and practical skill-building, blending client-centered listening with cognitive and emotionally focused interventions.

David also uses Jungian and mindfulness-influenced methods when exploring deeper patterns, personal meaning, and emotion regulation. He frames therapy as a cooperative process aimed at reducing distress, strengthening coping, and supporting healthier relationships and functioning.

Sessions are offered through multiple online formats to fit different schedules and preferences. Prospective clients in Florida can expect a therapist who combines empathic engagement with evidence-informed techniques and a focus on tangible progress over the course of care.

Approaches That Translate Well to Online Therapy



Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathic listening and collaboration, helping clients feel heard and supported while exploring their goals and values. This approach is useful for people seeking a safe space to process emotions and clarify what they want to change.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and replacing them with more adaptive alternatives; it works well for anxiety, depression, sleep and eating concerns, and many practical life problems by teaching skills that can be practiced between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and the therapist will work collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. That exploration helps shape a personalized plan that may combine listening, skill-building, emotional work, and mindfulness practices.

Online therapy here is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make scheduling more flexible and to fit different comfort levels. These options let clients access licensed professionals from wherever they are, maintain continuity of care during busy periods, and choose formats that support homework, brief check-ins, or deeper weekly sessions.
