About David
David Albert is an MD and a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW-C) based in Maryland. He helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, ADHD, sleeping trouble, anger, career strain, and parenting concerns. He also supports those dealing with relationship and family problems, social anxiety, workplace issues, and challenges common to young adults.
David's sessions are conversational and focused. He listens closely and offers practical strategies rather than labels. He uses short-term tools when people need quick relief and digs deeper when patterns run long.
How David works
The goal is steady, manageable change that fits daily life. His work draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to spot and change unhelpful thinking. He uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people focus on values and action.
Client-centered methods keep the conversation shaped by the person's concerns and priorities. He also brings psychodynamic and solution-focused ideas to understand history and build immediate steps forward. That mix lets him adapt to different problems, from mood shifts to relationship communication.
Sessions are collaborative and tailored to what each person says they need. David has six years of experience in mental health care. He treats topics that sometimes carry stigma, including body image, kink and BDSM related issues, men's concerns, narcissism, and self-harm thoughts.
He works in English and offers a range of session formats to fit varied schedules.

Online support options
How therapy approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts without getting ruled by them and then take steps aligned with what matters. It often helps with anxiety, depression, and life transitions by focusing on values and small actions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) identifies unhelpful thought patterns and replaces them with practical strategies for managing mood, sleep, and anxiety symptoms. It is useful when someone wants clear tools and measurable progress. Client-Centered Therapy centers the session on what the person brings and uses empathy and reflective listening to strengthen self-understanding and self-direction.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will explore goals, preferences, and the problem’s history together. That collaborative process shapes whether sessions lean toward skills-based CBT, values-focused ACT, or a more open-ended client-centered direction.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video works well when visual cues help the conversation. Phone sessions can fit into a work break or use less bandwidth. Live chat and text messaging suit quick check-ins or when written reflection helps. These options make it easier to keep regular appointments and adjust the format as needs change.
