About John
John "David" Reid brings 18 years of clinical experience to his practice in Virginia.
Background and approach
He focuses on addictions, depression, trauma and abuse, and career concerns, and also attends to issues such as coping with disasters, drug and alcohol addiction, fatherhood matters, first responder challenges, isolation and loneliness, life purpose, men's concerns, midlife transitions, mood disorders, post-traumatic stress, and seasonal affective disorder.
David emphasizes a collaborative, respectful stance that centers the client's perspective while offering practical tools and strategies. Drawing on approaches that include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), client-centered methods, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused techniques, he blends evidence-informed strategies with an adaptable, person-driven style.
He encourages early video contact to strengthen the therapeutic connection while remaining flexible about communication methods that fit each client’s needs. David frames therapy as an exploratory, empowering process and aims to help people identify goals, build skills, and move toward greater meaning and well-being.
Online Approaches That Combine Practical Tools and Personal Support
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and collaboration so that the client’s experience guides each session; it helps when people want a respectful, non-directive space to explore values and decisions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers concrete strategies for identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can be useful for depression, anxiety, addictions, and mood-related concerns. Mindfulness therapy teaches present-moment awareness and acceptance skills that can reduce reactivity and support emotional regulation across a range of issues.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will help assess needs, goals, and preferences and recommend whether CBT, client-centered methods, mindfulness practices, or a blend of techniques would be the best fit, making adjustments as the process unfolds in collaboration with the client.
Online options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to access consistent care without traveling and allow clients to continue therapy from locations that suit them while maintaining regular contact and progress with their therapist.
