About David
Dr. David Carlini is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) who helps people manage stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, and major life changes. He also supports clients with career challenges, professional coaching, relationship concerns, anger, and issues around control. He uses straightforward conversation to help people find practical steps forward.
His background includes a master’s degree in social work and ten years of clinical experience. He also has experience in hospital administration and health leadership, which informs how he thinks about work and career challenges. This combination of clinical and organizational experience shapes his practical approach to problems.
In sessions he favors a client-centered stance that focuses on the person's own goals and choices. He mixes that with cognitive behavioral ideas to help change unhelpful thinking and with mindfulness practices to reduce reactivity. He also draws on attachment and narrative approaches when relationship patterns and personal stories are central to the issue.
Dr. Carlini describes therapy as a collaborative process. He listens first, then suggests steps that fit a person's day-to-day life. Sessions often include goal-setting, skill practice, and real-world problem solving aimed at small, manageable changes.
He works in Florida and provides services in English. Prospective clients who want to begin are invited to use the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule a session according to availability.
How his approaches guide online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on what matters most to the person in care. It involves listening closely, reflecting what the client says, and following their lead to set goals. This approach helps when someone needs space to sort out priorities or make choices about work or relationships.Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how earlier relationships shape present patterns. It can help people understand why certain interactions trigger strong responses and work toward healthier ways of relating. This is useful when communication problems or control issues repeat across situations.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches practical skills to change unhelpful thinking and try new behaviors, which can reduce anxiety and lift mood over time.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist treats the choice of methods as collaborative, matching techniques to a person's needs, goals, and preferences rather than using a single fixed method.
If you are considering online therapy, check which session formats are currently offered before booking. Many people find remote sessions easier to fit into a workday, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, or avoid travel time. Discuss scheduling and practical considerations with the therapist to make sessions fit daily life.
