About David
David Robertson is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Georgia with 10 years of experience. He works with adults managing stress, anxiety, grief, anger, low self-esteem, depression, addictions, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, and other life changes. He also helps people facing career strain, compassion fatigue, and ADHD-related challenges.
Robertson trained with a Master of Social Work from Stony Brook University and holds the credentials LCSW and CSW. He uses straightforward, person-centered work that focuses on how people actually live day to day. Sessions aim to identify patterns that keep feelings of anger, resentment, or anxiety active and then test small, practical changes.
His approach combines Client-Centered Therapy with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and mindfulness practices. That means conversations focus on the person’s experience and current thinking, while also practicing concrete skills to manage strong emotions and reactions. Motivational Interviewing is used when people want to change habits or move toward specific goals.
In sessions, David listens for what is most urgent and helps set short-term steps to try between meetings. He pays attention to communication and control issues that often sit behind anger and relationship strain. He also works with people facing grief, caregiver stress, and end-of-life concerns.
Work with Robertson is aimed at making practical shifts - reducing reactivity, improving communication, and building daily habits that lower stress. If you want to explore options, he asks new clients to complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule a first session to get started.
How his approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person’s experience and what matters to them in the moment. Online sessions using this approach emphasize listening, clarifying goals, and helping clients decide what to try next. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful patterns. In virtual sessions, CBT often includes brief between-session exercises to practice new responses to anger or anxiety.Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide whether to emphasize CBT skills, mindfulness practice, or motivational interviewing for habit change. That choice is based on the client’s goals, current stressors, and what feels workable in day-to-day life.
The biography does not list which online session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. It also lets people try mindfulness exercises together in the moment and use homework that fits their daily routine.
