About David
David Robertson is an LCSW and CSW based in Georgia who focuses on helping people navigate stress, anxiety, grief, anger, depression, addictions, relationship and family concerns, trauma and intimacy-related issues.
Background and approach
He brings a decade of clinical experience to his practice and draws on evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside client-centered and mindfulness-oriented methods.
David emphasizes practical strategies for coping with life changes, career challenges, compassion fatigue, ADHD-related concerns, and a wide range of additional issues including caregiver stress, hospice and end-of-life counseling, and financial or veteran-related concerns. With a warm, respectful presence, David aims to meet clients where they are and move at a pace that feels comfortable.
He trained in social work at Stony Brook University and uses a collaborative stance that values the client’s goals and preferences. Sessions may combine structured cognitive work, reflective listening, and mindfulness practices to reduce distress and build more effective daily habits.
Prospective clients in Georgia can expect a professional who focuses on real-world skills and compassionate support as they work toward meaningful change.
CBT and Client-Centered Care for Online Sessions
David often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop practical skills for managing anxiety, depression, and stress. CBT typically involves setting goals, experimenting with new behaviors, and using structured exercises to shift how situations are interpreted and handled.He also draws from Client-Centered Therapy, which emphasizes empathy, respect, and collaboration so the client feels heard and can guide the pace of work. This approach helps when someone needs a supportive environment to process grief, relationship concerns, or self-esteem struggles. Mindfulness techniques may be added to help manage strong emotions and improve moment-to-moment awareness.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and will be a collaborative effort. The therapist will work with clients to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds.
Online therapy with David is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to access consistent support while balancing work, caregiving, or other responsibilities, and they allow therapists and clients to focus on skills and strategies that can be practiced between sessions.
