About David

David Miller is a licensed independent social worker (LISW) practicing in Ohio. He brings six years of clinical experience and a background as an Air Force officer. He aims to create a calm, straightforward setting where people can talk about what is hard right now.

David focuses on stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, and depression. He also addresses attachment issues, codependency, communication problems, fatherhood concerns, and family-related challenges. His work reflects experience with first responders and people affected by domestic violence and substance use.

In sessions he uses practical tools from approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, and client-centered work. That means conversations, skill practice, and steps you can try between meetings. The aim is to help people notice patterns, choose actions that matter, and manage strong emotions.

He draws on his military experience when relevant, especially around stress, trauma, and role-related strain. People can expect a direct but respectful tone and an emphasis on clear goals and small, steady changes.

Therapeutic approaches for online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small, value-driven steps even when feelings are difficult. It focuses on noticing thoughts and choosing actions that match personal goals, which can help with anxiety, depression, and codependency patterns.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It involves identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and practicing different behaviors, which can be useful for stress, mood problems, and addiction-related habits.

Attachment-Based Therapy centers on how early relationships shape expectations and reactions in close relationships. It can help people who struggle with intimacy, attachment issues, or recurring relationship conflict.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, history, and preferences, and then try approaches that fit. That plan can change as progress is made, keeping the work collaborative.

Confirm the available session formats before booking, since formats are not specified in this profile. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or remove the need to be on camera for parts of a session. These practical benefits can help therapy become a steady part of everyday life.
