About David
David Albert is an MD and licensed clinical social worker (LCSW-C) practicing in Maryland who focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, self-esteem, ADHD, relationship and family concerns, sleep and parenting difficulties, anger, career transitions, and coping with life changes.
Background and approach
He also offers coaching and addresses concerns such as body image, communication problems, isolation and loneliness, men's issues, narcissism, seasonal affective disorder, self-harm, self-love, social anxiety, workplace issues, and young adult challenges. With six years of clinical experience, he draws on a range of approaches to meet each client's needs.
His style blends active listening with interactive, collaborative work to tailor therapy around what a person brings to sessions. David integrates cognitive behavioral techniques along with acceptance and commitment, client-centered, psychodynamic, and solution-focused perspectives to create practical strategies and clarify long-standing patterns.
He emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion while avoiding stigmatizing labels. David offers multiple formats for remote sessions and uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.
He encourages those ready to pursue change to take the first step by completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling according to his availability.
Approaches that translate well to online therapy
David uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns; this approach often involves practical exercises and skill-building useful for anxiety, depression, and workplace or social concerns. He also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which encourages people to clarify values and build psychological flexibility through mindfulness and committed action useful for stress, avoidance, and life transitions. Client-Centered Therapy is another part of his practice, emphasizing empathy and a collaborative, nonjudgmental stance that helps people feel heard and develop their own solutions.
Finding the best fit is treated as a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and needs and adapt methods over time so treatments remain relevant and effective for each person’s situation. Clients are encouraged to share feedback so the plan can be adjusted as progress is made.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and communication styles. These options make it easier to access consistent support from licensed professionals without travel, and they allow therapeutic work to continue around work and family commitments.
