David Lambert, LICSW

David Lambert is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) in Washington with 40 years of clinical experience. He works with adults on concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, grief, addictions, relationship and family issues, trauma and abuse, parenting, sleep problems, ADHD, and anger.

He approaches therapy from a client-centered, strengths-based stance. He treats the person as the expert on their life and helps them clarify goals. He uses practical methods to guide change rather than relying on jargon or lengthy labels.

In sessions he draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to identify patterns that maintain distress. He also uses motivational interviewing to help people find their own reasons to change. Solution-focused tools are used when clients want brief, goal-directed work.

Mindfulness practices are included when people want tools to notice thoughts and bodily reactions without getting swept up by them. Across methods he emphasizes a steady, respectful professional relationship as the core of progress.

He encourages regular attendance and active practice between sessions to strengthen skills learned in therapy. He values dignity and respect in the work and helps people translate insight into everyday changes. To begin, clients choose an option for online therapy, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule a first session.
