About David
David Weiss is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Florida with 13 years of experience. He works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, depression, and life transitions, and he lists codependency among his focus areas.
He uses straightforward, practical approaches in sessions. He leans on cognitive behavioral ideas to examine thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. He also draws on client-centered and solution-focused methods to help people identify what matters now and take small, doable steps toward change.
David has worked across addiction services and child and family settings earlier in his career. That background informs how he talks about family dynamics, communication problems, and boundary issues in sessions. He aims to help people recognize patterns such as people-pleasing or extreme caretaking and consider alternatives.
In a typical session he talks things through, helps set concrete goals, and offers techniques to manage anger, worry, or insomnia. He also uses motivational interviewing tools when someone wants help with substance use or making a change but feels stuck.
Sessions tend to focus on strengthening a person’s sense of agency and practical coping skills. People leave with specific steps to try between meetings, and follow-ups assess what worked and what needs adjusting.
How sessions work
How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions
Attachment-based work looks at patterns in close relationships and helps people notice how past bonds shape current behavior. Online sessions can be used to identify when someone keeps putting others first and to practice new ways of relating in real time.Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on the connection between thoughts, feelings, and actions. In virtual meetings David can guide thought records, behavioral experiments, and sleep or mood planning so people leave with specific things to try during the week.
Client-centered work emphasizes listening and reflecting so people can clarify what they want. That approach pairs with practical goal-setting to turn insights into steps that fit ordinary routines.
Choosing a therapeutic approach is part of the work. David will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels manageable, and then test methods together. The process is collaborative and adjusted based on what helps most.

Therapists can also adapt exercises so they work without long in-person meetings.
