David Finucane , LMHC

David Finucane is licensed in Florida as an LMHC (Licensed Mental Health Counselor) and brings four years of professional experience to his practice. He works with people facing stress and anxiety, anger management, bipolar disorder, and depression, helping them identify practical steps forward and build on existing strengths.

David approaches therapy from a strengths-based perspective, recognizing that each person is the expert on their own life. He partners with clients to clarify goals, explore coping strategies, and develop skills that support day-to-day functioning and longer-term wellbeing. He emphasizes collaboration and respect while guiding clients through the challenges that brought them to therapy.

Starting therapy often requires courage, and David acknowledges the significance of that first step. He aims to create an encouraging, nonjudgmental environment where individuals can address concerns at their own pace and work toward meaningful change.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

David employs several evidence-informed approaches to support clients online. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts without getting stuck in them and identify personal values to guide meaningful action - it can be useful for anxiety, depression, and difficulty coping with change.

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on an accepting, empathetic therapeutic relationship where the client’s perspective leads the work; this approach supports self-exploration, self-esteem, and relationship concerns.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to shift patterns that contribute to distress, often helping with anxiety, mood issues, and anger management.

Finding the right approach is part of the process, and David works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. He adapts techniques over time as progress and priorities evolve.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity of care from different locations within Florida, and choose the communication style that feels most comfortable.
