About David

David Robb is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Missouri who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and parenting concerns. He also supports those coping with relationship strains, trauma and abuse, intimacy issues, career changes, and other life transitions. He uses clear, practical methods in sessions and keeps conversations focused and respectful.

His work combines client-centered listening with evidence-based tools. That means he starts by hearing what matters to the client and then adds techniques that fit the situation.

Background and approach

He draws from cognitive behavioral therapy to address unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. He also uses narrative work to help people reframe their stories. David has nine years of professional experience as an LPC in Missouri.

He has supported people dealing with attachment and abandonment concerns, codependency, caregiver stress, divorce and separation, and anger or impulse issues. He also has experience related to first responder stress and domestic violence effects. Sessions aim to be collaborative and goal-focused.

Clients can expect practical strategies for managing symptoms and clearer ways to handle everyday problems. The emphasis is on skills that can be used between sessions to improve coping and decision-making. Therapy is offered in several online formats to suit different needs.

David speaks English and works with people by appointment using video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging.

Therapeutic approaches used in online care

David combines client-centered work with cognitive behavioral therapy to address everyday problems and emotional pain. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding what matters to the person, helping them feel heard and guiding the conversation at their pace. Cognitive behavioral therapy targets the thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and offers concrete tools for change.

He also draws on narrative therapy to help people reframe the stories they tell about themselves. That approach can be helpful for issues like identity, shame, or trauma where shifting perspective makes room for new choices.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. He will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That may mean using more than one approach over time and adjusting strategies as needs change.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility for busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation from home, phone sessions suit those on the go, and live chat or text-based messaging can support shorter check-ins or ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to maintain therapy around work, family, and other responsibilities while still focusing on progress.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Narrative Therapy

Looking at the story you have come to tell about yourself, and where it came from. The work is in separating the problem from your identity and finding accounts that fit you better.
