David Powell, LCSW

David Powell is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) based in Florida who helps people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, depression, relationship and intimacy issues, and self-esteem concerns. He brings 12 years of experience to sessions and aims to help clients get practical results they can use in daily life. He speaks English and works with adults facing a wide range of life challenges.

In sessions he focuses on clear goals and measurable progress. He combines client-centered listening with practical tools from cognitive behavioral work and emotionally-focused methods. That means he listens first, and then helps people notice unhelpful thinking, change patterns in close relationships, and build healthier habits.

David often uses mindfulness strategies to help people stay present and reduce rumination. He also draws on Jungian ideas to help clients understand recurring life themes and personal meaning. Motivational techniques are used when change feels overwhelming or motivation is low.

He works with concerns from grief and trauma to eating and sleeping problems, compassion fatigue, ADHD, bipolar mood struggles, and caregiving stress. He also helps with career issues, communication problems, and coping with major life changes.

People who come to him usually want a straightforward, goal-oriented process. He aims to help clients make steady progress and then keep those gains. To begin, readers should use the site Start Therapy flow to match and schedule a session.

How his approaches work in online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the client's perspective. The therapist creates space for people to tell their story and helps them set their own goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It gives concrete exercises to test unhelpful thoughts and build better habits for anxiety, depression, and addictive behaviors.

Finding the right approach is often part of the work itself. The therapist will talk with each client about goals and preferences and then try methods that fit. This is a collaborative process where adjustments are made as progress and needs become clearer.

Session logistics should be confirmed before booking since formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, keep short check-ins during a work break, or avoid travel time. It can also allow using mindfulness exercises and homework between meetings so change continues outside sessions. Ask about available session formats when scheduling to match what works best for daily life.
