About David

David Lassoff is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Massachusetts who draws on seven years of clinical experience to support people facing a broad range of concerns.

Background and approach

He combines cognitive behavioral techniques with client-centered and solution-focused methods to help clients explore patterns of thinking and develop practical strategies for change. His background includes work in educational, residential, and outpatient settings, giving him familiarity with depression, anxiety, ADHD, addictions, trauma, relationship and parenting challenges, and life transitions.

David emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental stance and adapts conversations and care plans to each person’s needs. His approach incorporates elements of motivational interviewing to build readiness for change and DBT-informed skills for coping with intense emotions when helpful.

He works with people across the lifespan and aims to offer collaborative support that balances insight with concrete tools for managing stress, improving mood, and navigating difficult life events. Clients who want practical strategies alongside empathic listening may find his blend of approaches useful.

He frames the work as a partnership focused on realistic goals and steady progress, offering multiple session formats to fit different schedules and preferences.

Practical Approaches for Online Therapy and Skill Building

David often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop concrete coping strategies for anxiety, depression, and stress. CBT focuses on the connections between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and emphasizes actionable skills like behavioral experiments and thought tracking.

He also draws from Client-Centered Therapy, which prioritizes empathic listening and collaboration so clients feel heard while exploring goals and values. This approach supports motivation and personal insight and can complement more skills-based work when clients want space to reflect.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to clarify goals, try different techniques, and adjust the plan based on what fits the client’s needs and preferences rather than a one-size-fits-all method.

Online therapy with him is offered through flexible formats including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to receive ongoing support around work, school, or family obligations and allow clients to use approaches like CBT homework, motivational interviewing conversations, and solution-focused check-ins in ways that suit their schedules and daily routines.
