About David
David Kobold is an LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker) practicing in Montana with six years of clinical experience. He works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and addiction. He also focuses on issues such as isolation, life purpose, midlife transitions, and challenges tied to fatherhood and men’s issues.
He talks with people who are navigating big changes - career shifts, relationship endings, or the aftermath of difficult events. Sessions focus on clear, practical steps rather than abstract theory. Conversations often cover communication skills, managing strong emotions like anger or shame, and reducing substance use when that is a concern.
David uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people process painful experiences and rebuild routines that support better mood and functioning. He pays attention to the pressures faced by veterans and first responders and addresses those experiences directly in sessions when relevant. He aims to help clients recognize patterns that keep them stuck and try small, everyday changes to test new ways of coping.
Clients can expect direct discussion of problems and concrete tools to practice between sessions. He supports people working through divorce, domestic violence impacts, guilt, and feelings of isolation. His work with life purpose centers on helping clients clarify values and take small steps toward goals that matter to them.

How evidence-based approaches are used in online sessions
David draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change. One common approach is cognitive-behavioral style work, which helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors to test new outcomes. This method is useful for anxiety, low mood, and managing stress.Another core approach is trauma-informed care that emphasizes pacing and safety when processing difficult memories. That work includes grounding skills, emotion regulation, and stepwise processing so people can manage strong feelings while reviewing past events.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. David will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide which techniques to try and adjust them as progress is made.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking.

Therapists often adapt exercises for remote work so people can practice skills between meetings and track what’s working in everyday life.
