About David
David Carrasco is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people manage stress, anxiety, mood disorders, addiction, and trauma. He speaks English and Spanish and practices in Hawaii. He aims to create a calm, respectful space where people can talk about painful experiences without judgement.
David uses straightforward, practical methods to help people find relief and move forward. He focuses on skills that can be used between sessions, like noticing difficult thoughts, committing to values-based action, and building coping strategies for intense emotions.
How David works
Clients often work on managing anger, improving self-esteem, navigating career strain, and handling compassion fatigue. His work includes attention to substance use, codependency, fatherhood issues, and seasonal mood changes. He also addresses complex concerns such as personality difficulties, paranoia, and self-harm urges while helping people process guilt, shame, and forgiveness at a manageable pace.
The aim is steady progress rather than quick fixes. David’s style blends Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, client-centered listening, and motivational interviewing. He draws on four years of clinical experience as an LCSW to tailor the approach to each person’s needs.
People who work with him can expect collaborative goal-setting and practical tools to try between sessions. If you want to start, confirm current session options before booking and use the site’s Start Therapy flow to match and schedule a time.

How David Uses Therapeutic Tools Online
David often draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in session. ACT focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small actions that matter, which helps with motivation and life changes. CBT looks at thought patterns and teaches practical skills to reduce anxiety, depression, and mood symptoms.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and daily life. Sessions may combine approaches and evolve as needs change, with the client’s preferences guiding the plan.
Confirm current session options before booking so you know how meetings are held. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, shorten check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also allows work on concrete skills between meetings, such as behavioral experiments, value-guided actions, and emotion regulation practices, so progress can continue between sessions.
