Approach-driven online therapy that meets you where you are
David Gibbs draws from several evidence-informed methods to support clients working through concerns like stress, anxiety, addiction, relationship strain, trauma, grief, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on noticing patterns in thoughts and behaviors and practicing practical skills that can make day-to-day challenges feel more manageable. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients relate differently to difficult thoughts and feelings while taking steps toward values-based goals, which can be especially useful when life feels stuck, overwhelming, or uncertain. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a structured approach often used to help people process distressing experiences so they can respond with more steadiness in the present.Finding the right fit is part of the work. Therapy is approached as a collaboration, where the therapist and client can explore what is most helpful based on needs, goals, and preferences, and adjust strategies over time.
Online therapy makes it easier to access support in a way that suits real-life schedules. Sessions can take place through video calls or phone sessions, and clients can also use live chat or text-based messaging for added flexibility and continuity between appointments.
