About David
David Miller is an Ohio LISW (Licensed Independent Social Worker) with six years of clinical experience. He works with adults facing stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, and depression. He also addresses problems like attachment difficulties, codependency, communication problems, and issues related to fatherhood and first responder life.
David draws on practical, evidence-informed approaches in session. He uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, and client-centered methods to talk through what feels stuck. Sessions focus on clear, manageable steps rather than long or abstract explanations.
He has a military background and time working with active duty members and veterans, which shaped how he approaches trauma and family concerns. That experience also informed work with domestic violence and addictions in clinical settings. Conversations in therapy tend to be direct and goal-focused while staying grounded in the person’s real life commitments.
In sessions he helps people notice patterns that keep guilt, shame, or avoidance active. He offers strategies to change unhelpful thinking, practice new behaviors, and strengthen relationships where possible. He also supports people who are coping with grief and feelings of emptiness.
People who choose to work with him can expect straightforward language, concrete tools, and collaboration on next steps. Before booking it is sensible to confirm current session options and any logistical details.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting ruled by them and then commit to actions that matter. It is useful when guilt or shame makes someone avoid important parts of life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful thinking and try new behaviors. It often helps with anxiety, depression, and persistent self-criticism.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped in the past. They will then choose techniques from these approaches in collaboration with the client rather than applying a single method by default.
Session formats supported by this profile are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online session options before booking. Many people find online sessions easier to fit into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when time is tight, or remove the need to travel. Online meetings can also make it simpler to practice skills between sessions and to bring real-life situations into conversation during appointments.
