About David
David Stewart is a Licensed Professional Counselor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, and other hard life moments. He speaks plainly and aims to make therapy a practical place to solve everyday problems. Many clients come for help with relationships, sleep problems, parenting strain, or changes at work.
Sessions focus on building skills that fit each person’s life. Over 20 years of practice in Colorado shaped his straightforward style.
Background and approach
He draws on therapies that teach new ways of thinking and relating, such as cognitive behavioral techniques and emotion-focused work. He also uses approaches that look at attachment and acceptance to help people heal from past wounds and move toward clearer goals. David emphasizes collaboration.
He listens first, then offers tools tailored to what matters most to the client. That can mean practicing coping skills, learning to manage strong emotions, or shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Therapy with him includes short-term problem solving and longer work on patterns that keep people stuck.
He works with a wide range of issues, including mood disorders, trauma and abuse, addiction concerns, ADHD, and questions about identity and intimacy. The focus is on what the person wants to change and how to get there. Practical matters such as scheduling, session format, and goals are discussed early.
David supports clients through each step, helping them build routines that support better sleep, healthier relationships, and more confidence.
Approaches that translate well to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and take action toward them despite uncomfortable thoughts or feelings. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and it is often used for anxiety, mood issues, sleep problems, and addiction-related patterns. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how earlier relationships shape current patterns and can help with intimacy, trust, and long-standing relationship struggles.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will listen to your goals and preferences, then suggest methods that fit your needs. This is a collaborative process where techniques are adjusted over time based on what helps the client make progress.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls let you use visual cues for deeper conversations, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text-based messaging can be useful for quick check-ins or when typing feels easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to fit sessions into a busy week, maintain continuity during travel, or choose a format that supports steady progress.
