About David

David Miller is a licensed independent social worker (LISW) based in Ohio with six years of clinical practice. He blends practical therapy methods with straightforward conversation to help people manage stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, and depression. David writes and talks plainly so busy people and worried parents can quickly understand the next steps. He draws on several evidence-based approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to help clients notice patterns and try different behaviors. Sessions focus on concrete skills for emotional regulation, building healthier habits around substance use, and coping tools for loss and trauma. The work is collaborative and goal oriented. David also uses Attachment-Based and Client-Centered approaches to understand how early relationships affect current struggles. That helps when addressing issues like attachment difficulties, codependency, communication problems, or fatherhood concerns. He aims to make the therapy room a place to practice new ways of relating to others. His background includes service as an Air Force officer and experience supporting active duty members and veterans. That perspective shapes how he approaches first responder issues, family problems, and stresses related to military life. He also has focused experience with domestic violence and child abuse advocacy. People come for straightforward help with mood or personality concerns, addictions, or trauma recovery. David works with each person to set clear goals and track progress over time. If you want to learn more, use the site controls to begin the matching process.

Therapeutic approaches that work well online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on noticing difficult thoughts and feelings and choosing actions that match personal values. It is often used for anxiety, stress, and problems that keep people stuck. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to shift unhelpful patterns. CBT is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and managing cravings. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationships shape current ways of relating and can help with codependency, communication problems, and fatherhood issues.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, daily challenges, and preferences, then recommend methods to try. That decision is made together and can change as needs shift.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week by removing travel time and allowing check-ins from different locations. This can allow for shorter follow-ups or longer sessions when needed and may help those juggling work, caregiving, or military schedules. Session formats are not listed here, so confirm which options are offered before booking. Licensed professionals can help tailor session length and rhythm to suit real-life constraints while focusing on the same practical skills and relational work used in in-person therapy.

Before you get in touch

Therapists listed here offer talking therapy online. A profile is not a diagnosis of you or of anyone in your life, and no therapist can promise how a relationship will turn out.

If you are in danger, or someone is hurting or threatening you, contact emergency services or a domestic-abuse helpline. The numbers are at the foot of this page.
