David Rothman(He/Him/His)

David Rothman is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Board-Approved Clinical Supervisor located in Arlington, VA. He supports teenagers, young adults, and adults who struggle with anxiety, OCD, trauma, depression and more. His clients may feel overwhelmed by excessive worry or rumination on something they said or did, or they might find it difficult to find the motivation to connect with others socially, preferring to isolate themselves or engage in other self-defeating behaviors. David works with clients to not just improve mood, but also guides client to enacting behaviors and actions that are healthier and more in-line with their values. This could look like helping clients face their fears, sometimes it means learning to communicate assertively with others.

David’s therapy style is warm, authentic, and humorous. He enjoys connecting with clients as he listens empathetically while also providing practical tools when appropriate. Clients learn how to become more aware of their thoughts, feelings, and actions so they can recognize the patterns with which they engage – patterns that might lead to negative mood or difficulty connecting with others. David also teaches clients self-regulation techniques to reduce the impact of anxiety or depression on their lives, so clients leave sessions with confidence that they can manage their emotions in times of distress. 

David earned a Master’s degree in Social Work from George Mason University. He has nearly 15 years of experience as a social worker and has helped countless individuals with their mental health. His goal is to help clients gain insight into their emotions so they can take action towards greater well-being. 

David offers 4/days week of in-person therapy in his physical office, located in the Rosslyn neighborhood of Arlington, VA. He also offers telehealth/virtual therapy 5/days week.
