Aloha! My name is David Cayton, and I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) who was born in and resides in the San Francisco Bay Area and enjoys working with clients from all communities throughout California via teletherapy. I specialize in anxiety, depression, mood disorders, adjustment issues, and stress among teens, college-aged youth, and other adults. I use Cognitive-Behavioral, Humanistic, and Reality therapies to assist you in making positive changes to feel emotionally stronger and happier.
In my clinical experience, my therapeutic approach is a best fit for teens, young adults, and other adults ranging into older adulthood who are going through major life transitions, having unhelpful or negative thoughts, struggling with difficult or complicated feelings, and/or frustrated with everyday stressors affecting their quality of life.
As a result of these situations, you may experience anxiety, depression, feeling overwhelmed or unable to cope, school and/or employment issues, family conflicts, relationship concerns, financial problems, loneliness, emptiness, financial problems, and health conditions.
Take the first step to help. Call or David Cayton now - (323) 274-1817

In everyday life and therapy, my communication style is relaxed, friendly, compassionate, respectful, non-judgmental, attentive, and conversational in nature. I also enjoy using humor in therapy because smiles, laughter, and fun are part of healing. A goal in our sessions is for you to feel as if you can be open and honest about anything you want to talk about.

I passionately believe there should not be a cookie-cutter approach to therapy, as it should be tailored toward each client's unique situation(s), needs, and strengths for it to be effective.
