About David
David Porter is an Arizona licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with ten years of counseling experience. He helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, depression, addiction recovery, trauma, and relationship strain. He also offers LGBTQIA+ affirming care and supports people facing major life changes and grief.
His style is practical and down to earth. He focuses on building skills people can use between sessions. He blends talk and hands-on strategies so progress feels useful in daily life rather than just theoretical.
David uses a mix of approaches that include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). He aims to help clients notice patterns, try new behaviors, and manage strong feelings without being overwhelmed.
He also works from attachment-informed ideas to help people improve how they relate to others. That perspective shows up when he supports people dealing with trust, communication, and intimacy-related issues.
Sessions focus on practical steps, skill building, and clear goals. He describes therapy as a collaborative process where clients set priorities and try out small changes. The work is paced to match each person’s needs and life demands.
