About David
David Ramstad is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in Colorado with 22 years of clinical experience. He works with adults facing stress, anxiety, addiction, relationship struggles, trauma, depression, grief, parenting strain, and codependency concerns. He also helps people dealing with anger, self-esteem, career issues, bipolar symptoms, ADHD, and major life changes.
David keeps sessions direct and straightforward. He listens first, then helps people notice what patterns keep repeating. He offers practical ideas you can try between meetings and checks what actually helps in daily life.
His approach mixes client-centered conversation with techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy and other models. That means conversations focus on what matters to the person while also looking at thoughts and behaviors that sustain distress. He brings lived experience to the work to keep suggestions grounded and usable.
People often come to him wanting clearer boundaries, less reactivity, or ways to stop putting others first. He talks through how relationship patterns form and what small changes might shift them. Sessions aim to be honest and focused rather than abstract.
David supports efforts to grieve losses, manage addiction-related problems, and rebuild life after major transitions. He also helps with attachment and abandonment worries, communication problems, and parenting challenges.

How sessions work
How his approaches translate to online sessions
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what the client says. Online sessions keep that same emphasis by giving space to describe relationship habits, attachments, and where people tend to put others first. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is about spotting unhelpful thoughts and trying small behavior changes. Online work can include setting concrete practice tasks between sessions and reviewing what happened. Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) offers skills for handling strong emotions and improving relationships, which can be useful for people who struggle with reactivity or boundary setting.Finding the right approach is part of the work. He will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match their goals and comfort level. If one way of working doesn’t help, they adjust the plan together based on what the client prefers and what produces useful changes.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy day, avoid travel time, and keep steady progress between appointments. They also allow using brief check-ins or shorter sessions when schedules are tight. Licensed professionals commonly describe these practical benefits to help people maintain consistency while working on relationship patterns and codependency-related concerns.
