About Dave
Dave Boldebook is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) in Maine with 20 years of experience. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship concerns, addiction, trauma, and life changes. He also focuses on aging and geriatric issues, caregiver stress, cancer-related concerns, hospice and end-of-life counseling, and co-morbidity challenges.
He trained at the University of New England in Maine and has practiced in community and residential settings. He has worked with a wide age range of people and brings long-term clinical experience to everyday problems. He favors straightforward conversation and practical steps over jargon.
His methods draw from several approaches, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), existential ideas, and mindfulness practices. Sessions typically include talking through difficulties, identifying workable changes, and practicing tools between meetings.
In sessions he emphasizes real interaction, clear listening, and honest feedback. He will notice patterns that get in the way and offer concrete strategies to address them. He encourages clients to try small experiments and notice what changes.
People who choose him often want a direct, experience-based style that connects life events to emotional and behavioral responses. He aims to help people regain routine, manage strong emotions, improve sleep and relationships, and set achievable goals. To begin, the process starts with a short questionnaire and scheduling a first meeting.
BHow sessions work
How his approaches shape online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice what matters to them and take small, values-based actions even when feelings are difficult. It often helps with anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting thought and behavior patterns that keep problems going and practicing specific skills to change them. CBT tends to be useful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and anger. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention skills to reduce reactivity and improve emotional regulation, which can support stress, compassion fatigue, and grief.Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to pick approaches that fit current goals, preferences, and daily routines. That process can include trying an approach for a few sessions and adjusting as needed.
The original profile did not list explicit online session formats, so confirm the session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, shorten travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. They also let people practice skills in their everyday setting and bring real-life situations into discussion. The focus remains on clear conversation, practical exercises, and follow-up between meetings to support steady progress.
