About David

David Robertson is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and a Certified Social Worker (CSW) practicing in Georgia with 10 years of experience. He works with stress, anxiety, grief, anger, self-esteem, depression, addictions, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, intimacy issues, career and life changes, and related difficulties. David speaks English and aims to help people who are frustrated by snapping at loved ones, carrying resentment, or feeling stuck by strong emotions.

He trained with a Master of Social Work and brings a straightforward, person-centered approach. Sessions focus on real moments - what triggers angry reactions, how thoughts and behaviors feed each other, and what practical changes reduce reactivity. David uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, mindfulness techniques, and motivational interviewing alongside client-centered work to help people notice patterns and try new responses.

In therapy he often starts by mapping specific situations that lead to anger or stress. He works with clients to test small behavior changes and to practice new ways of responding. Mindfulness skills appear as short exercises to calm the body and increase awareness before reactions escalate.

David also addresses problems connected to life stages and roles, such as caregiver stress, aging issues, or challenges tied to work and money. He has experience with veterans, correctional settings, and end-of-life concerns, and brings those perspectives into practical coping strategies.

Sessions are aimed at steady, usable progress rather than dramatic fixes. People who want plain, practical tools to manage anger and related problems will find a focused approach that emphasizes skills, self-awareness, and real-world practice.

How sessions work

How his approaches translate to online sessions

David uses Client-Centered Therapy to focus on each person's goals and concerns, helping them describe what matters and decide where to start. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify unhelpful thoughts and test small behavior changes that reduce reactivity. Mindfulness Therapy offers brief attention and breathing practices to lower physiological arousal before anger escalates.

Finding the best approach is part of the work. David will collaborate with the client to decide which methods to emphasize based on goals, daily demands, and what the client prefers. That choice can shift over time as progress and needs change.

Confirm the specific online session formats before booking because the profile does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It can also let clients practice skills in real-life settings between sessions so therapy integrates with everyday routines.
