About David
David Ramstad is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) licensed in Colorado with 22 years of experience. He helps people handle stress, anxiety, anger, addictions, relationship problems, grief, and other life challenges. He offers straightforward, practical support aimed at clear steps and steady progress.
He keeps sessions focused on what feels most pressing. He listens closely, then offers direct reflections and options to try. Conversations often move between understanding past patterns and testing small changes that can fit into daily life.
David draws from several therapeutic approaches, including client-centered methods, cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior strategies, emotionally-focused methods, and existential ideas. He uses those tools to help people notice unhelpful habits, shift thinking, and practice different ways of responding when emotions run high.
He also brings life experience to the work, which he uses to keep suggestions practical and relevant. That means concrete skills for managing strong feelings, improving communication, and reducing repeated conflicts. The emphasis is on skills people can use outside the therapy hour.
Sessions are conducted in English and he accepts international clients. Costs vary with location and sessions are paid through a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

How sessions work
How his approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what matters to the client. It helps people feel understood and clarify what they want to change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors together and teaches practical strategies to shift unhelpful thinking and reduce reactivity. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills that can reduce angry reactions and improve communication.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. David will discuss your goals and preferences and together decide which methods to try. That collaborative planning can include blending elements from different approaches as needs change over time.
The biography does not specify session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, shorten commute time, and allow brief check-ins when needed. They also let people practice skills in everyday contexts and bring those experiences back into sessions for discussion.
