David Stewart, LPC

David Stewart is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Colorado with 20 years of experience. He helps people manage stress, anxiety, addiction-related problems, grief, and major life transitions. He also supports concerns like depression, relationship strain, sleep difficulties, parenting stress, and issues related to aging and geriatric care.

Clients can expect straightforward conversation and a practical focus in sessions. David listens, helps clarify immediate goals, and works on skills people can use between meetings. He draws from a mix of approaches so the work matches each person’s needs rather than a single fixed method.

Over two decades of practice have given him experience with a wide range of concerns, including trauma and abuse, ADHD, bipolar symptoms, compassion fatigue, and intimacy-related struggles. He pays attention to patterns in relationships, attachment issues, and how past losses shape present choices.

His approach blends techniques that change thinking and behavior with methods that explore emotions and connection. That often means setting small, realistic steps, practicing new ways to cope, and checking what actually helps in daily life. The aim is clearer direction and more usable tools.

David works in a collaborative way that respects each person’s pace and priorities. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to availability. Sessions operate under a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

How therapeutic approaches shape online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values and taking small steps toward them while learning to live with difficult thoughts and feelings. It is often used for stress, anxiety, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns with practical exercises and experiments you can do between sessions to reduce symptoms like low mood or anxiety.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will review your needs, goals, and preferences and suggest methods that fit. That decision is collaborative and may shift as progress is made.

The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, shorten commute time, and allow for brief check-ins when a full in-person visit would be harder. Different approaches support different kinds of online work - for example CBT often uses shared worksheets and at-home practice, while ACT emphasizes value-driven experiments that you can try between meetings. Licensed professionals can help you choose how to structure sessions so they work with daily life rather than against it.
