David Robertson

David Robertson is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, anger, low self-esteem, depression, and career concerns. He greets clients with a straightforward, respectful approach and aims to make the first steps feel manageable.

David holds a Master of Social Work from Stony Brook University and has ten years of clinical experience. He moved from New York City and now practices in Georgia. His background includes work with veterans, older adults, people in custody, and others who wanted lasting change.

His style is person-centered. That means sessions focus on the person in front of him and what matters most to them. He listens carefully, names practical next steps, and moves at a pace the client sets.

David blends several methods to match each person's needs. He uses elements of cognitive behavioral techniques to spot unhelpful thinking patterns. Mindfulness tools are offered to help manage stress and strong emotions. Motivational interviewing supports people who want to change behaviors like substance use or work habits.

Sessions tend to be calm and goal-focused. David commonly helps people cope with life changes, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, compassion fatigue, ADHD, and caregiving stress. He aims to help people regain a sense of control and make real changes over time.

How his approaches translate to online therapy

David often uses Client-Centered Therapy to build a supportive space where the client's priorities guide each session. This approach focuses on listening, respect, and helping people move at a comfortable pace. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify thought patterns that contribute to stress or low mood and turns those observations into practical, testable changes that can be tried between sessions.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. He will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences, and he adjusts strategies as progress is made. Therapy is a joint process of figuring out what helps most for that individual.

Confirm available session formats before booking to know how David currently meets with clients. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and support consistent weekly work even during life transitions. These practical benefits can help people maintain momentum while they address stress, career concerns, mood, addiction, or relationship issues.
