About David
David Bradshaw is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in Washington. He brings eight years of clinical practice and a straightforward, steady presence to sessions. He uses clear, practical strategies to help people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, mood concerns, and relationship or identity questions.
David combines several approaches to match each person's needs. He uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful patterns and build doable skills. Client-centered listening and elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Motivational Interviewing shape how he collaborates with clients.
Before counseling, David worked five years in corrections and law enforcement. That background informs his calm, matter-of-fact style and his comfort talking through hard topics like trauma, grief, and life transitions. He also brings practical perspective to issues such as career stress, compassion fatigue, and challenges related to adoption and foster care.
Outside work he reads, practices yoga and meditation, trains in martial arts, and enjoys camping and building desktop computers. Those interests support a grounded approach that emphasizes small, sustainable changes and real-world problem solving.
People who choose David can expect direct communication, a focus on practical tools, and a collaborative effort to set goals and track progress. He offers sessions in English and accepts international clients; prospective clients should confirm current session options before booking.
Approaches that guide online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to actions that match their values, which can be useful for anxiety, stress, and life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying patterns of thinking and behavior and practicing concrete skills to shift them, often helping with depression, anxiety, and coping strategies. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental listening stance where the therapist follows the client's lead and helps them find their own solutions.Choosing the right approach is part of therapy. David will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That collaboration means techniques can change over time as needs shift and progress is tracked together.
Practical benefits of online therapy often include easier scheduling and the ability to fit sessions into a workday or caregiving routine. Some formats use less bandwidth or allow for shorter check-ins, which can make it simpler to maintain regular contact. Because session formats are not specified here, confirm the available online options before booking to make sure they meet your needs.
