About David
Dr. David Carlini is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Florida with ten years of clinical experience. He works with adults on stress, anxiety, depression, anger, self-esteem, career concerns, relationships, coaching, and coping with life changes.
He describes the LCSW role as one that addresses interpersonal relationships, individual psychology, and practical life and career matters. He combines psychological approaches with real-world problem solving. That includes talking through how emotions show up at work and home, and how they affect daily choices.
David uses several evidence-based approaches to guide sessions. He relies on cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thinking and patterns. He uses client-centered methods to keep the conversation focused on what matters to the person in front of him.
He also draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape reactions today, and uses mindfulness to build attention and calm. Narrative elements are used to help people reframe stories they tell about themselves. These approaches are used to reduce reactivity, improve communication, and manage control issues.
Before clinical practice he worked in healthcare leadership and earned a doctorate in health administration. That background informs practical coaching for career and executive concerns. He asks practical questions up front and works collaboratively to set clear goals for therapy.
Sessions aim to be straightforward and focused. David welcomes a conversational, problem-solving style and invites clients to try strategies between sessions to see what helps.
How sessions work
How his approaches translate to online sessions
David often uses cognitive behavioral techniques to pinpoint thoughts and behaviors that increase stress and anger. CBT helps people break down specific situations, test ideas, and try different responses to see what changes. He also draws on attachment-based ideas to trace how early relationship patterns influence current reactions, which can help with communication and control issues.Finding the right fit is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose which methods to try based on goals, preferences, and what proves helpful in early sessions. That means trying techniques, reviewing what worked, and adjusting the plan together.
The biography does not list which online session formats are used, so confirm available options before booking. In general, virtual sessions can make it easier to schedule therapy around work and family life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. For people balancing a busy schedule or needing focused coaching between meetings, this flexibility can help keep progress consistent without disrupting daily routines.
