About David

David Schulman is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW-R) with 20 years of experience who helps people facing stress, anxiety, addiction concerns, relationship problems, family conflict, and depression. He meets people where they are and treats them as the expert of their own story. He encourages small, practical steps that lead to better day-to-day coping. Taking the first step feels hard, and he acknowledges the courage it takes to begin.

In sessions he listens for strengths and builds on what already works in a person’s life. Conversations focus on realistic goals and useful strategies rather than jargon. He helps people develop ways to manage anxious moments, reduce stress, and work through challenges tied to addiction and relationships.

He draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide work on mood, behavior, and communication. Treatment is collaborative - goals are set together and adjusted as needs change. The pace is respectful and tailored to each person’s situation.

David holds the LCSW-R credential and practices from New York. He offers therapy in English and accepts international clients. If someone prefers a predictable schedule and structured follow-through, he works to make sessions practical and applicable to everyday life.

To begin, a person completes a short matching questionnaire and schedules sessions based on the therapist’s availability. Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.

How therapeutic approaches shape online care

David uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical skills and everyday changes. One common approach emphasizes building coping skills for stress and anxiety - teaching breathing, pacing, and behavior adjustments that reduce overwhelm and improve daily functioning. Another approach targets patterns around addiction and relationship strain by identifying triggers and rehearsing different responses to old habits.

Finding the right method is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to pick approaches that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That means trying strategies, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan together if something isn’t working.

For session logistics, confirm current formats before booking since the biography does not list specific session types. Online therapy can make it easier to fit care into a busy life - appointments can be slotted around work, travel, or family responsibilities. It also lets people continue regular check-ins without commuting and can support shorter follow-up meetings when that fits someone’s schedule better.
