About David

David Griffin is a licensed mental health counselor practicing in Florida who focuses on helping people navigate stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, low self-esteem, depression, and major life transitions.

Background and approach

He draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify and shift unhelpful thinking patterns and to build practical coping skills for everyday challenges. With 11 years of clinical experience, he emphasizes collaborative goal-setting and skill development tailored to each person’s situation.

David cultivates a welcoming, nonjudgmental space where clients can explore their concerns and develop greater self-awareness. He often addresses communication problems, control issues, forgiveness, isolation and loneliness, life purpose, men’s issues, midlife transitions, self-love, social anxiety and workplace stress.

His approach balances evidence-informed techniques with attention to each client’s values and priorities, aiming to support steady progress and clearer decision-making along the way.

Practical therapeutic approaches for online care

David primarily uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which helps clients notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through structured exercises and skill practice; this approach is often useful for anxiety, depression, and stress management. He also integrates practical problem-solving and communication-focused work to address relationship tensions, workplace struggles, and issues like social anxiety and isolation.

Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each client to choose techniques that match their goals, preferences, and pace, adjusting methods over time based on progress and feedback to ensure the work feels relevant and manageable.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care while balancing work, family, and travel, and they allow clients to engage in therapy from locations that fit their daily routines.
