About David
David Miller is an LISW - Licensed Independent Social Worker practicing in Ohio with six years of experience. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, and depression. He also addresses related concerns such as attachment issues, codependency, family problems, and first responder issues.
David draws on a mix of practical therapies to help people manage symptoms and make clearer decisions. He uses acceptance and commitment approaches and cognitive behavioral techniques to identify patterns that cause pain and to try different ways of responding. He also uses attachment-based and client-centered ideas to look at how relationships and early experiences shape current reactions.
Sessions focus on clear goals and real-life skills. That can mean learning breathing and emotion-regulation tools, testing unhelpful thoughts, or practicing different ways to set boundaries. Work may include addressing substance use patterns and the impacts of trauma on day-to-day functioning.
People who come to him for grief or depression often start by making small, manageable changes. For anxiety and stress he emphasizes concrete steps that fit into a busy life. For relationship or family concerns he helps people talk about patterns and communication habits.
He has experience from military service that informs his work with active duty members and veterans. He welcomes conversations about how past roles and responsibilities affect current struggles, and he helps people explore practical next steps.
Therapeutic approaches for online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and on identifying personal values to guide small steps forward. It can help with anxiety, stress, and feelings of emptiness by shifting attention toward meaningful action.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior. It uses straightforward exercises to test unhelpful beliefs and build new habits, which can reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety.
Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how past relationships affect current reactions and patterns. It can be useful for addressing attachment issues, communication problems, and the effects of trauma on relationships.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss your needs, goals, and preferences and help decide which methods to try first. That collaborative process can be adjusted as goals change or new challenges emerge.
Session logistics should fit into daily life. The biography does not list which online formats are offered, so confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to schedule appointments around classes, work, or other commitments, support short check-ins when needed, and allow use of digital tools and exercises between meetings.
