01About David
David Whiteman is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and Licensed Professional Counselor with 26 years of experience guiding people through stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and trauma. He focuses on practical, down-to-earth help so clients can take small steps toward relief. He emphasizes clients' strengths and respects each person's story as the starting point for change.
He uses straightforward conversation to identify what is getting in the way and what matters most.
Background and approach
That can mean learning new ways to respond to anxiety, restoring sleep, or sorting out painful relationship and family patterns. He also supports people facing career stress, caregiver strain, bereavement, bipolar challenges, and compassion fatigue. In sessions he draws on approaches like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, along with solution-focused and client-centered methods.
These tools are used to help people notice unhelpful thinking, build workable habits, and set clear goals that fit their life. Motivational interviewing can be part of the work when someone needs help finding inner motivation to change. David aims to make the process collaborative.
He listens first, then suggests small experiments to try between sessions. Progress is tracked in simple ways so clients see what works and can adjust as needed. He offers services to people in Indiana and accepts international clients.
Sessions can be scheduled via video, phone, live chat, or text messaging to match differing needs and rhythms.

04Online support
Therapeutic approaches for online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify what matters most and take action toward those values even when painful thoughts or feelings appear. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, and grief by shifting focus from trying to eliminate unpleasant feelings to living a meaningful life anyway.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, behaviors, and emotions interact. In online sessions this approach involves identifying unhelpful thoughts, testing them, and practicing new behaviors to improve mood and sleep and reduce anxiety.
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and working at the client's pace. The therapist offers empathy and reflection to help people better understand themselves and make choices that fit their goals.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That may mean combining techniques and adjusting the plan as progress is seen.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions let people use visual cues during deeper conversations. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a simpler check-in is needed. Live chat or messaging works well for brief updates, coaching-style support, or when typing feels easier than speaking. Together these options offer flexibility to fit varied schedules and everyday life.
