About David

David Miller is an Ohio-licensed independent social worker (LISW) with six years of clinical experience. He lists stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, and depression among the concerns he addresses. He has experience from military service and work with active duty members and veterans, which informs his perspective on some common challenges.

In sessions he aims for clear, practical pacing. He listens to what matters most and helps people identify small steps they can try between meetings. He uses talk-based methods that focus on changing unhelpful thinking and building coping skills for moments of high stress or cravings.

His work draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to spot thinking patterns and on acceptance and commitment approaches to clarify values and next steps. Attachment-informed ideas guide conversations about close relationships and how past connections shape current reactions. Dialectical behavioral strategies support emotion regulation and distress tolerance during intense moments.

David has experience supporting people who face substance-related problems, domestic violence concerns, and grief after loss. He also notes work with mood and personality-related difficulties and common communication and family stresses. That background can shape the practical topics brought into sessions.

How his approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and making choices that fit personal values rather than fighting every unpleasant feeling. It can help when social worries or avoidance limit everyday activities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical exercises to test and change unhelpful thinking patterns that fuel anxiety or low mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. David will discuss options and work together with clients to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That collaborative process shapes session plans and homework between meetings.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and reduce travel time. Working this way often means practicing skills in real-life situations between sessions so progress connects directly to everyday challenges.
