More about David

  • 10 years' experience
  • Male
  • LCSW

My name is David J. Carlini. I am a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW). This means I have a master’s degree from an accredited school of social work (University of Pittsburgh) and extensive post-master’s supervision in clinical settings. A LCSW provides direct service to clients which addresses inter-personal relationships, individual psychology and life (personal and career) management issues.

I specialize in treating depression, stress and anxiety as well as building motivation, self-esteem and confidence. I also provide assistance regarding career difficulties and executive and professional coaching. My clinical approaches include cognitive behavioral therapy, client centered therapy, mindfulness therapy and solution focused therapy. I want to share that I am also a retired specialty hospital CEO (psychiatry and addiction medicine) with a doctorate in health administration (Central Michigan University) and I am a retired Fellow of the American College of Healthcare Executives. I believe my training, background and experience uniquely positions me to not only help with the psychological aspects of life difficulties but also the practical implications these difficulties have for work and career,

I have been providing therapy to a number of very diverse clients over a number of years. However, I have learned that everyone is unique and I look forward to learning about you and what makes you unique.

Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
