About David
David Lassoff is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with seven years of clinical experience in Massachusetts. He works in a straightforward, respectful way so parents and individuals can talk about stress, anxiety, mood problems, addictions, ADHD, and parenting concerns without feeling judged. He trained at Boston University School of Medicine and has worked in educational, residential, and outpatient settings.
That variety gave him experience with many common struggles, from depression and relationship strain to grief and life transitions.
Background and approach
David uses a mix of client-centered care and practical techniques. He draws on cognitive behavioral strategies to help people change unhelpful thought and behavior patterns. He also uses solution-focused steps and motivational interviewing to set clear, manageable goals.
Sessions are collaborative and tailored to the person’s needs. He aims to keep therapy concrete and doable, with tools you can try between sessions. He avoids stigmatizing labels and treats people with sensitivity and respect.
People often come for help with career stress, quitting smoking or vaping, fatherhood issues, and young adult challenges. He approaches these topics with direct skills-building and problem-solving so day-to-day life can feel easier. If someone is ready to take a first step toward feeling better, David offers a supportive space to explore options and make a plan.
Practical approaches for online therapy
David blends client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy to keep sessions focused and useful. Client-centered work means the conversation centers on the person's experience, with the therapist listening closely and shaping support around what matters most. Cognitive behavioral therapy involves identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors, which can be helpful for anxiety, depression, ADHD challenges, and habit change.He also uses aspects of motivational interviewing to help people find their own reasons for change and build small steps toward goals. Choosing an approach is collaborative - the therapist will talk through options and adjust methods based on the person's goals, needs, and preferences rather than applying one fixed model.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to match different schedules and comforts. Video works well for in-depth conversations and skills practice. Phone sessions can be a lighter check-in when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or text-based messaging can fit into a busy day for brief updates or reminders. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, school, or family routines while keeping the focus on practical skills and steady progress.
