Dr. David Lustig

Dr. David Lustig is a Florida psychologist with more than three decades of clinical experience. He uses practical, down-to-earth methods to help people manage stress, sleep problems, anxiety, mood challenges, and parenting concerns. He presents as warm, encouraging, and often brings a touch of humor to sessions.

He favors cognitive behavioral approaches that focus on clear steps clients can take between meetings. That approach pairs well with client-centered work that keeps each person’s goals and values front and center. Emotionally-focused ideas and solution-focused techniques are also part of his practice when they fit a person's needs.

David has worked in many public settings over the years. He taught at the college level and led workshops nationwide. He has also written a parenting book and appeared frequently in television interviews on parenting and mental health topics.

In practice he aims to build quick rapport, especially with younger clients, and to keep therapy straightforward and useful. Sessions tend to focus on concrete skills, practical problem solving, and clearer thinking about daily challenges. For people with sleep complaints he addresses routines, stress, and behavior patterns that affect rest.

His perspective comes from long experience rather than quick fixes. He invites people to try approaches that match their situation and to adjust plans based on what works. The first meetings typically focus on setting clear goals and testing simple strategies that can be practiced between sessions.
