About David
David Weiss is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) based in Florida with 13 years of experience. He focuses on helping people manage anxiety, depression, anger, stress, and self-esteem struggles. He also supports people facing relationship and family stress, grief, parenting challenges, career questions, and issues linked to ADHD and compassion fatigue.
David uses down-to-earth conversation and practical steps in sessions. He leans on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and on Solution-Focused Therapy to build small, doable changes. Client-Centered methods guide how he listens and responds to what each person needs.
In sessions he helps people sort priorities, set simple goals, and practice new ways of handling difficult emotions and interactions. He often addresses attachment issues, communication problems, control and dependency patterns, and concerns around codependency and commitment. He also works with problems related to substance use and disruptive mood patterns.
David emphasizes personal responsibility as a starting point for change, while recognizing progress can take time. He describes therapy as a shared journey and aims to make people feel understood along the way. His approach blends practical skill-building with supportive listening to help people make steady progress.
Clients can expect straightforward guidance, clear goal-setting, and a focus on building skills they can use outside sessions. He encourages honest conversation about goals and adjusts techniques to fit the person's pace and needs.
How his approaches work in online therapy
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape expectations and reactions. In simple terms it looks at patterns in connection and trust, and helps people notice and change repeated relationship behaviors. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thoughts and replace them with more balanced thinking while teaching practical coping skills for anxiety, depression, and anger. Solution-Focused Therapy emphasizes small, achievable steps and clear goals so people can see progress quickly and build momentum.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to the person's goals, try strategies, and adjust methods that feel most helpful. That may mean combining CBT skill practice with a client-centered conversation and goal-focused homework over several sessions.

It can also let sessions continue when relocating or traveling internationally, though the exact practical arrangements should be confirmed in advance.
