About David

David Stewart is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Colorado with 20 years of experience. He helps people who are stressed, anxious, grieving, struggling with addiction, or facing life changes. He also supports those dealing with relationship strain, parenting challenges, sleep problems, and concerns about self-esteem or career direction.

David uses clear, practical methods in sessions. He listens first, then helps people set small, doable goals. Conversations focus on what feels most urgent and what can change in daily life. Sessions move at a pace that fits each person’s needs.

His work draws on a mix of approaches including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, attachment-based ideas, client-centered care, cognitive behavioral techniques, and dialectical behavior strategies. He blends these to match a person’s situation rather than following a single script. The goal is to build skills and understanding that last beyond the therapy room.

David has worked across Colorado for two decades and has experience with trauma, addiction, mood disorders, and ADHD. He aims to create a respectful, nonjudgmental atmosphere where people can talk frankly about money concerns, grief, intimacy, or shifting life roles. He encourages practical steps that people can try between sessions.

To start, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions according to availability. He accepts international clients and conducts sessions in English.

How his approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to notice difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to actions that fit their values; it can help with anxiety, avoidance, and life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in close relationships and helps people build safer, more reliable ways of connecting. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to reduce symptoms like anxiety, depression, and insomnia.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. David treats therapy as a collaboration and will help a person try one method, adjust it, or combine techniques to match goals and preferences. That decision is based on what feels most useful in sessions and what fits daily life.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the exact session formats when booking since the biography does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around work, caregiving, or travel. It also lets people use shorter check-ins when schedules are tight or avoid video when bandwidth is limited. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT, attachment-based methods, and CBT to an online setting so the focus stays on practical skills and real-life changes.
