About David
David Robertson is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Georgia with 10 years of experience. He works with adults facing stress, anxiety, grief, anger, low self-esteem, depression, addictions, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, career questions, and coping with life changes.
He practices in a client-centered way. Sessions focus on listening, clarifying what matters most, and helping people take practical steps forward. David combines client-centered work with cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness practices, and motivational interviewing to address thoughts, behaviors, and day-to-day coping.
People come to him for a wide range of life stresses - from caregiver strain, blended family challenges, and fatherhood strains to end-of-life caregiving and work-related burnout. He has also supported people with cancer-related stress, money and financial worries, and the effects of trauma or disaster. His experience includes work with veterans and older adults in prior roles.
In sessions he uses straightforward tools. That might mean noticing unhelpful thinking patterns with CBT, practicing short mindfulness exercises to reduce reactivity, or using motivational interviewing to build commitment to change. The emphasis is on steps that can be tried between meetings and adjusted over time.
To begin, David asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session. He uses a subscription model for sessions that can be canceled at any time, and offers services in English for people located in Georgia.
How sessions work
How his approaches work for remote sessions
David blends client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and mindfulness in ways that suit the online setting. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and helping people set goals that feel important to them. It is useful when someone needs space to clarify feelings about family, caregiving, or relationship strain.Cognitive behavioral therapy identifies patterns of thought and behavior that make problems worse and offers practical exercises to change them. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, anger, or addictive behaviors and includes homework that can be done between sessions. Mindfulness therapy adds short attention exercises to reduce reactivity and improve presence during stressful moments at home.
Choosing the right combination is collaborative. David will work with each person to decide which approaches fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That choice can change as work progresses, and the plan is adjusted together.
