David Stewart, LPC

David Stewart is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Colorado with 20 years of experience. He helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, grief, or major life changes. He offers straightforward care and practical steps people can use between sessions.

David uses a blend of approaches to meet each person where they are. He commonly draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior. He also uses acceptance and commitment ideas to help people clarify values and take meaningful action, and attachment-based ideas to improve emotional connection and patterns in close relationships.

Sessions tend to focus on clear goals and skills people can try right away. David works in a collaborative way, listening first and then offering options that fit each person’s situation. He pays attention to both immediate coping and longer-term patterns that keep problems repeating.

He brings two decades of clinical practice to common concerns such as sleep problems, anger, self-esteem, intimacy issues, parenting stress, career questions, and ADHD-related struggles. David also supports people dealing with trauma, compassion fatigue, and issues tied to identity and relationships.

People looking to start can expect a practical, down-to-earth process. He helps set manageable steps, tracks progress, and adjusts the plan as needed. This approach aims to reduce overwhelm and build skills that last.

Evidence-based approaches for online care

David often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which helps people spot and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT is practical and problem-focused, and it can help with anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and coping skills.

He also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify their values and take meaningful action even when feelings are difficult. ACT is useful for those who want to reduce struggling with emotions and build a life guided by what matters most.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to your goals, try techniques, and adjust the plan together so it fits your needs and preferences rather than forcing one method.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video lets people work face-to-face when that is helpful. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat or text messaging can support brief updates, skills practice, or more frequent contact between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to keep continuity when life changes.
