David Miller, LISW

David Miller is a licensed independent social worker (LISW) in Ohio with six years of clinical experience. He combines practical, down-to-earth work with a focus on thoughts and everyday habits so people can manage stress, anxiety, grief, addiction, and trauma. He keeps sessions direct and goal-focused while listening for what matters most to each person.

His background includes military service as an Air Force officer, which shaped his understanding of stress and the effects of trauma. That experience informs how he talks through coping skills and daily routines. He also draws on multiple therapy approaches to match each person’s needs rather than using a single method for everyone.

In sessions he pays attention to thinking patterns and habits that keep problems going. He teaches practical tools for managing anxiety, cravings, low mood, and difficult memories. He also helps people work through relationship issues like communication problems and blended family stress.

David uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Attachment-Based, and Client-Centered approaches as frameworks to guide work. He adapts these methods to focus on what a person wants to change in day-to-day life. Expect clear explanations, simple skills practice, and steady support.

People who come to him often want to reduce overwhelming feelings, build better routines, or find ways to cope after loss or abuse. He accepts English-speaking international clients and directs people to the Start Therapy process to begin matching and scheduling.

How these approaches guide online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to actions that match their values. It can help with anxiety, low mood, and getting unstuck from habits that cause harm. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to change them, which suits concerns like anxiety, depression, and problematic habits. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to patterns in relationships and how early connections affect current trust and closeness, useful for communication problems and attachment issues.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals and daily life. Sessions can mix elements from different approaches so the plan fits what the person wants to change rather than following one fixed model.

The original profile does not specify which online session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also lets people practice skills in their everyday routines and bring real-life examples into the session to try new habits between meetings.
