About David
Dr. David Carlini is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Florida who helps people manage stress, anxiety, anger, and low self-esteem. He also supports career concerns, relationship struggles, and people coping with life changes.
He takes a straightforward, calm approach and aims to make therapy practical and usable in day-to-day life. David draws on a mix of talk-based and action-focused methods to help clients gain insight and change habits.
Background and approach
He uses cognitive behavioral ideas to spot unhelpful thoughts and client-centered listening to make space for each person’s experience. Mindfulness and narrative work are added when helpful to shift perspective and build new routines. David trained at the University of Pittsburgh and earned a doctorate in health administration from Central Michigan University.
He spent many years in clinical settings and later worked as a specialty hospital CEO in psychiatry and addiction medicine. That background informs his understanding of workplace pressures and career transitions. Sessions are practical and paced to each person’s needs.
He helps people set realistic goals, practice new responses to stress and anger, and use simple strategies between meetings. Progress is tracked in ways that matter to the client, like better focus at work or fewer angry outbursts. People who prefer a direct, experienced guide for stress, career strain, or anger concerns may find his style helpful.
He looks to collaborate, listen closely, and tailor a plan that fits each person’s life and goals.

How his approaches translate to online therapy
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on understanding how past relationships shape current reactions. Online sessions can help identify patterns in how someone relates to others and build more supported ways of connecting with people in daily life.Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening without judgment and following the client’s pace. This approach helps people feel heard and understood, and it can make online conversations feel focused and supportive when discussing stress, anger, or career worries.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and teaches practical skills to change them. CBT works well online because homework, thought records, and behavior experiments can be shared and reviewed between sessions.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, needs, and preferred pace. Adjustments are made as the work evolves.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people read facial cues and practice new skills in real time. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or a simpler check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging allow brief check-ins, quick coaching, or written reflections between meetings. These options add flexibility and make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule.
