About David

David Ramstad is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in Colorado with 22 years of experience supporting people through life’s challenges. He blends a warm, compassionate presence with a direct, straightforward style, acknowledging the strength it takes to seek help and honoring the courage involved in that step. Therapy with him emphasizes attentive listening and practical support while remaining open to exploring new perspectives and alternative ways of approaching persistent problems.

His work is collaborative - he aims to understand each person’s needs and goals and walks alongside them with honesty, compassion, and clarity. Drawing on multiple theoretical approaches as well as his own lived experience, he keeps interventions grounded and focused on insights that can be applied to everyday life. That practical orientation helps clients move from understanding toward action in ways that feel relevant and sustainable.

Over the course of his career he has supported people coping with trauma, anxiety, depression, PTSD, addiction, relationship difficulties, and major life transitions. He strives to meet each person where they are, offering both support and challenge to encourage meaningful growth and healthier ways of relating to self and others.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

In his online practice, David Ramstad draws on Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, with additional skills from Dialectical Behavior Therapy when appropriate. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a supportive, nonjudgmental relationship in which the therapist follows the client’s goals and priorities; it is useful for improving self-understanding, relationship concerns, and navigating life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and patterns of behavior, and it can be helpful for managing anxiety, depression, stress, and many everyday struggles. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers practical skills in emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness and can be applied when stronger skills training is needed.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. David works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds. This collaborative stance helps tailor sessions to what will be most useful in a client’s life.

Online therapy options - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - provide flexibility and accessibility for people with busy schedules, caregiving responsibilities, or geographic limitations. These formats allow licensed professionals to offer consistent, ongoing support and practical tools that can be integrated into daily routines, making therapy more convenient and easier to maintain over time.
