About David
David Grimm is a licensed marriage and family therapist in Florida with more than 40 years of experience. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, parenting challenges, and major life changes.
Background and approach
He offers both short-term problem-focused counseling and longer-term psychotherapy. David believes crisis combines danger and opportunity.
He says people can suffer deeply, and that therapy helps them understand why they think and act as they do. Sessions often look at patterns in relationships, recurring feelings like guilt or shame, and how health or career concerns affect daily life.
His background includes work in child service agencies, residential treatment, and outpatient psychiatry. That range of work informs a practical approach to common issues such as mood disorders, attachment concerns, caregiver stress, and questions about life purpose.
Therapy blends conversation with focused techniques aimed at changing thoughts and behaviors when that is helpful. He supports people exploring sexuality, men’s issues, and midlife questions, and offers help when caregiver roles become overwhelming.
Outside the office he cites long marriage and raising two children as central life experiences that shape his perspective. He emphasizes testing small changes in daily life and relationships to create meaningful improvement.
Approaches that translate well to online therapy
David uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that can be adapted to remote work. Cognitive-behavioral approaches focus on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors; these methods often include goal-setting, behavioral experiments, and practical homework to try between sessions. Psychotherapy for relationship and family concerns examines recurring patterns, attachment dynamics, and communication habits to help people make different choices and feel more connected. A problem-focused counseling stance offers brief, skill-based support for specific issues like anxiety or caregiver stress, with concrete tools to use day to day.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped in the past. That collaborative discussion guides whether sessions emphasize short-term skill building or deeper, exploratory therapy.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video calls allow for face-to-face conversation and shared exercises, phone sessions can fit into a work break or when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging supports quick check-ins or ongoing reflections between longer sessions. These formats make it easier to schedule regular work on stress, relationships, parenting, and life transitions without added travel time.
