Evidence-Informed Approaches, Made Accessible Online
David Gibbs draws from established therapy methods to help clients work through concerns such as anxiety, stress, addiction, relationship strain, trauma, grief, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and experimenting with practical changes in daily routines, which can be especially useful when anxiety, depression, or self-esteem concerns are getting in the way.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting pulled into a struggle with them, while also clarifying values and taking steps toward the life they want to build. This approach can be helpful when people feel stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected from their sense of purpose. David also incorporates Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), a structured approach often used to help clients process distressing experiences and reduce the intensity of how those memories show up in the present.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. David collaborates with clients to understand goals, preferences, and what has or has not helped in the past, then adjusts the focus as therapy progresses.
Online therapy can make it easier to stay consistent with support. Sessions may take place through video calls or phone, and clients can also use live chat or text-based messaging for added flexibility between sessions.
