About David

David Powell is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Florida with 12 years of experience. He works with adults dealing with stress, anger, anxiety, relationship and intimacy concerns, self-esteem, depression, addictions, grief, trauma, and related life challenges. He also lists areas like parenting, career issues, ADHD, and compassion fatigue among his focus areas.

He favors practical, goal-focused work. Sessions emphasize clear steps rather than long theory talks. He draws on client-centered methods and cognitive behavioral techniques to address thought patterns and behavior. Mindfulness practices and emotionally-focused ideas are used to increase awareness of feelings and reactions.

Powell also references Jungian perspectives alongside motivational interviewing principles to help clients look at deeper patterns and motivation. That combination is used to understand recurring problems and to build more effective habits over time. He describes himself as a generalist who helps people face obstacles and move forward.

Expect conversations that name current problems and identify small, doable changes. He aims to help clients make measurable progress and then support those gains so daily life feels easier to manage. Work can include coping skills for anger, strategies for relationship conflict, and tools to reduce stress reactions.

How sessions work

How his approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what a person is experiencing. Online sessions can use that approach to help someone clarify feelings about anger, relationships, or life stress. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful patterns. CBT works well online for practicing new skills and checking progress between meetings.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose methods that match goals, symptoms, and personal preferences. That might mean combining CBT with mindfulness practices or using emotionally-focused techniques when relationship feelings are central.

Confirm the specific session formats before booking, since those options are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and avoid travel when schedules are tight. Licensed professionals often use these practical benefits to help clients maintain regular momentum while addressing anger, stress, and relationship issues.
