About David
David Stewart is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who helps people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, loss, and life changes. He writes plainly and listens closely to understand what matters most to each person. Sessions focus on practical steps and clearer thinking rather than jargon.
He works in Colorado and offers services in English, including to international clients. David draws on about 20 years of experience to tailor an approach that fits each person.
Background and approach
He uses Narrative therapy to help people reframe the stories they tell about themselves. He also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help clients clarify values and take small, meaningful actions. In many sessions he uses elements of Attachment-based and Client-centered work to strengthen relationships and to create a respectful, nonjudgmental setting.
Cognitive Behavioral techniques are applied when patterns of thinking and behavior need direct attention. He keeps goals concrete so progress is easier to notice. People contact him about a wide range of struggles, including depression, trauma and abuse, grief, parenting and intimacy-related issues.
He also helps with career concerns, ADHD, bipolar management, and coping with loneliness or role changes. He includes additional focus on topics such as abandonment, codependency, and communication problems. Sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging.
The service uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. To start, a short matching questionnaire is completed and a session is scheduled according to availability.

How his approaches translate to online care
David often uses Narrative therapy to help people examine and change the stories they tell about themselves, which can reduce shame and open new choices. This approach helps when relationships, identity, or life purpose feel stuck. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is another frequent tool; it focuses on clarifying values and taking small committed actions even when difficult feelings remain. ACT is useful for anxiety, depression, and motivation problems.He combines these with Attachment-informed and Client-centered sensibilities to build a respectful, empathetic working relationship. Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, then adjust methods as work progresses.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which allow work to fit into busy lives. Video is useful for deeper conversations and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or text messaging can serve as shorter check-ins or a way to process thoughts between meetings. These options give flexibility and make it easier to maintain steady progress without rearranging large parts of life.
