About David
David Ramstad is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in Colorado with 22 years of experience. He works with adults facing stress, anxiety, addiction, relationship problems, trauma and depression. He also helps people navigating grief, parenting strain, intimacy concerns, anger, self-esteem issues, and major life changes.
David keeps sessions direct and practical. He listens first, then helps clients name patterns and try new ways of handling hard moments. He draws on several approaches and uses whatever seems most useful for everyday life. He also offers perspective from his own lived experience when it helps make ideas more concrete.
Clients can expect a collaborative tone. He asks about goals and priorities, then works toward them with clear feedback and straightforward suggestions. That may include tools for managing strong emotions, steps to change behavior, or exercises to improve communication.
He has supported people dealing with addiction, trauma, relationship strain, parenting stress, and career setbacks. He also works with concerns like ADHD, compassion fatigue, and family-of-origin issues. Sessions focus on practical ways to cope and move forward rather than distant theory.
David accepts international clients and conducts sessions in English. Fees vary by location and use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How sessions work
Approach and online sessions
The work often begins with client-centered practices that focus on listening and reflecting back what matters most to the client. This helps clarify priorities and builds the basis for change.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify unhelpful thoughts and patterns and to try new behaviors. CBT can be helpful for anxiety, depression, and practical coping. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is used for learning emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills when emotions run high.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and preferences, then recommend techniques that fit those needs. Adjustments are made as work progresses so methods match what the client finds most useful.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm the current online options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into daily life by removing commute time, allowing shorter check-ins, and making scheduling more flexible. Therapists can adapt exercises and skill practice to suit the way a client prefers to work online.
