About David
David Gibbs is a licensed counselor who helps people tackle stress, sleep problems, anxiety, addiction, grief, and relationship struggles. He brings a calm, straightforward approach so clients can talk through what feels hardest and try practical steps that fit daily life. David holds LMHC and LPCC credentials and has two decades of counseling experience.
He has worked in homes, nonprofit programs, crisis stabilization, and private practice. That mix of settings shaped how he approaches problems - with direct tools and attention to what actually works day to day. He also wrote a self-published book, Humbug to Happiness, which grew out of his belief that people deserve to live with more ease.
David uses a range of methods to match a person's needs rather than a one-size-fits-all plan. He blends acceptance-based work, cognitive tools that change unhelpful thinking, and client-centered conversation to build useful habits and clearer choices. He also draws on techniques for trauma and emotion regulation when those fit.
His work includes support for people dealing with addiction, ADHD, compassion fatigue, and major life shifts. Sleep and rest concerns are part of the issues he helps people address through practical routines and coping skills. Sessions focus on small, doable changes and realistic goals.
People who choose David can expect steady, experience-based guidance and a focus on real-life results. To begin, clients complete a short questionnaire and schedule sessions to match their needs and timing.
How therapy approaches shape online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like worry, low mood, or sleep disruption. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a trauma-focused method that uses structured processing to lessen the intensity of traumatic memories and related reactions.Finding the right approach is often part of therapy. The therapist will work collaboratively to try methods that fit a person's goals and comfort level, and adjust the plan as progress is made. Clients and the therapist decide together which tools and steps feel most helpful.
The practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy schedule and making it easier to maintain regular appointments. Because the biography does not list specific session formats, confirm current options before booking. Many people find remote work helps them practice skills in real life between sessions and keeps momentum when travel or work makes in-person meetings hard.
