About David
David Thomas is a licensed marriage and family therapist with 11 years of clinical experience. He practices in Florida and brings a steady, practical approach to people facing relationship and life challenges. He focuses on helping individuals handle relationship strain, parenting stresses, mood concerns, anxiety, grief, addiction, and ADHD-related struggles.
He also works with people dealing with trauma and post-traumatic stress and supports those coping with major life changes such as illness, adoption, or family-of-origin issues.
Background and approach
David uses straightforward talk, active listening, and structured exercises to help people make changes that matter to daily life. He draws from Client-Centered Therapy to prioritize the person’s perspective, and from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address unhelpful thinking and behavior. Trauma-Focused Therapy informs his work when traumatic experiences are part of the story.
Sessions aim to clarify goals, reduce overwhelm, and build practical skills for managing stress, mood, and relationships. He can suggest strategies for parenting, managing anger, handling workplace stress, or navigating intimacy concerns. The work often combines short-term skill building with longer-term change efforts.
Outside of practice he has a long marriage, grown children, and grandchildren. He holds a Master of Psychology Counseling with an emphasis in Marriage and Family Therapy from Palm Beach Atlantic University and maintains his LMFT credential. He speaks English and accepts international clients for online sessions.
Approaches for online work and practical change
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely and reflecting what matters to the person. That approach helps people feel heard and clarifies what they want to change in relationships, parenting, or daily life.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and uses clear exercises to shift unhelpful patterns. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, ADHD-related routines, and stress management.
Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on specific strategies to address the effects of traumatic events and reduce their hold on daily functioning. It is used when past events continue to shape emotions and behavior.
Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will listen to your goals and preferences, then suggest which methods to try first. Together you'll adjust the plan as progress and needs become clearer.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video works well for in-depth sessions, phone can fit a break at work, live chat can be a quick check-in, and messaging supports brief ongoing contact. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and keep continuity when schedules or locations change.
