David Grant
I am a licensed clinical social worker serving adult individuals across Texas via teletherapy from the Greater Houston area, with 7 years of client-facing clinical experience as a social worker. I enjoy several different things about therapy -- is one or more of these you?: the mentoring aspects of therapy with young adults, the empowerment and validation aspects of working with those with less privilege or the perspective-taking and compassion work of working with those with more privilege, using evidence-based therapies to help people overcome PTSD trauma, such as sleep better, concentrate more, feel safe more, take back their lives, and recover the experience of positive emotions, and helping young professionals regarding burnout.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
My first session typically introduces therapy, orients the client, and establishes the foundation and basic expectations of our professional therapeutic relationship, and then the latter half of the first session is really an opportunity for the client to say what brings them to therapy now. After the first session, typically I provide a structured 2-5 session comprehensive bio-psycho-social assessment, the purpose of which is to panoramically understand what is going on in the client's life, and identify and prioritize therapy goals that will be the basis of the interventions to come.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
Among by colleagues and therapy peers, I am known to always be keenly interested in studying evidence-based practices and interventions, completing continuing education at four times the pace of what's required of licensed clinical social workers. With my clients, I am known to be diligent in identifying and using evidence-based practices to help my clients resolve their issues as well as discover their own solutions. Also, the way my mind works might be described as philosophical; I often help clients to see things from a new perspective. I balance my own inputs into therapy with a high valuation of client right to self-determination and self-direction.

Cognitive Processing (CPT)
I have completed a Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) CEU and have experience successfully providing this trauma/PTSD therapy such that PTSD symptoms were dramatically reduced. This therapy is appropriate if clients meet certain PTSD screening criteria on the PCL-5, a screening tool which I can provide to you during assessment. This therapy involves 1-2 hours of homework outside of session each week. CPT is an evidence-based PTSD therapy. I'd be happy to provide you more information to help you decide if this is the right fit before committing to this structured 12-18 session intervention.
Eclectic
I frequently draw from multiple modalities tailored to advance clients in their unique therapy goals, coping, and thriving, such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), especially DBT skills training (e.g. distress tolerance, mindfulness, emotion regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness/assertiveness training), Mentalizing-Based Therapy (MBT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), and Solutions-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT). I also draw from my Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) training to help clients regarding themes such as safety, trust, power and control, esteem and intimacy after "traumas" that don't meet PTSD criteria, such as Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACE's), e.g. parental substance use, divorce and remarriage, and/or parental incarceration, etc., or attachment trauma. I am also experienced in resourcing and empowering survivors of intimate partner violence (IPV)/domestic violence. I like to help people live whole, well-adjusted, and self-directed lives, with the option and mental flexibility to see the glass half full, the power to experience positive emotions, after validating the ways the glass may have been half empty. I like to help people understand themselves, their feelings and thoughts, their needs and goals, and their own solutions and vision. I also enjoy the mentoring aspects of therapy when working with young adults, helping them adjust through life transitions into adulthood.
