About David
David Ramstad is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in Colorado with 22 years of experience. He works with common life stresses including anxiety, addiction, relationship struggles, grief, parenting concerns, and mood challenges such as depression and bipolar conditions.
He keeps sessions straightforward and practical. Conversations focus on being heard and understood, then on clear steps people can try between sessions. He uses a mix of approaches to help people test new ways of handling difficult moments and interactions.
David draws on client-centered work to listen closely and follow what matters most to each person. He also uses cognitive behavioral ideas to spot patterns of thinking that make stress or anxiety worse. Dialectical skills and emotionally-focused techniques are part of his toolbox when moments become intense or relationships are strained.
He refers to his own lived experience when it helps make therapy feel grounded and relatable. That perspective is used to keep suggestions realistic and aimed at daily life challenges rather than abstract theory.
Sessions move at a practical pace. The therapist and client set clear goals together and check progress as they go. People who prefer direct, down-to-earth conversations about coping, communication, and relationship repair often find this style a good fit.
Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions work
David commonly uses Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in his work. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely and following what matters most to the person, which can help clarify goals and values. CBT looks at thinking patterns and behaviors, offering practical practices to reduce anxiety and manage mood swings.He also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills when emotions feel overwhelming or when stronger regulation strategies are needed. DBT supplies specific tools for distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and clearer communication in tense moments.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. He collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and comfort level. That choice can shift over time as a client tries techniques and reports what helps.

Many people find online work helpful because it can fit into busy schedules, reduce commute time, and allow shorter or more flexible check-ins when needed. Talk with him during the matching step about what will fit your routine and technical preferences so sessions can be arranged to match everyday life.
