About David
David Bradshaw is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Washington with eight years of clinical practice. He holds a Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and has worked as a clinician since October 2018. He helps people manage issues such as stress, anxiety, addictions, depression, bipolar symptoms, and anger.
David draws on several practical therapy methods to help people who are dealing with loss, relationship strain, parenting stress, or work-related pressure. He also supports people facing trauma and abuse, ADHD, intimacy concerns, and grief. His experience includes work in corrections and law enforcement early in his career, which shaped how he understands safety and crisis in everyday life.
His style is straightforward and focused on clear skills people can use between sessions. He uses approaches like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to help with emotional regulation and coping. Motivational Interviewing is part of his approach when people are trying to change patterns around substance use or other habits.
Outside of clinical work he reads widely, practices yoga and meditation, studies martial arts, and enjoys camping and backpacking. He also builds desktop computers and spends time in the Pasayten Wilderness Area when he can. These interests inform a practical, action-oriented approach to change.
David works with a broad range of concerns including eating issues, intimacy-related problems, career stress, compassion fatigue, and a variety of attachment and personality-related topics. He offers sessions in English and accepts international clients; confirm current session options before booking.
How his approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and values-based action. It helps people move toward what matters despite difficult emotions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches exercises to change unhelpful patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) adds concrete regulation and interpersonal skills to manage strong emotions and improve relationships.Finding the right approach is part of the process. He will work with each person to figure out which methods fit their goals and preferences. This is a collaborative decision that can shift over time as needs change.
The practical upside of online sessions is that they can fit more easily into a busy life. Online work can make short check-ins, weekday appointments, or sessions during a lunch break easier to arrange. Confirm the therapist's current session options before booking so you know what formats are available. Online work lets people use the same skills-focused methods he teaches without needing to rearrange everything around therapy.
