My personal and professional experiences have shaped my trauma-informed approach and my belief that while our experiences influence who we are, they do not have to define us; by understanding the patterns behind our behaviors and reconnecting with what we value most, we can begin making choices that reflect the life we want to live.
My approach is trauma-informed and grounded in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). I help clients understand how their experiences have shaped the way they see themselves, their relationships, and the world around them. Together, we explore patterns, build insight, and work toward meaningful changes that feel true to who you are and where you want to go. When appropriate, I incorporate Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) to support trauma healing.
I believe therapy is most helpful when you feel comfortable being yourself and don’t have to arrive with everything figured out. Our work is collaborative, and I’ll meet you where you are while also encouraging you to look at things from new perspectives. We’ll explore what may be keeping you stuck, recognize your strengths, and find practical ways to move toward the life you want.
You don’t need the right words or a clear plan to begin therapy—just a willingness to show up and start somewhere. I encourage clients to ask questions, be curious, and bring their authentic selves into the room. Growth takes time, and the process can look different for everyone. If you’re ready to begin, I invite you to schedule an appointment.

My name is David J. DeJesus, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the state of Florida. My work is grounded primarily in Bowen Family Systems Theory and psychodynamic thinking, with attention to how family history, relationships, and early experiences shape present-day patterns. I work with individuals and families navigating complex family dynamics, early recovery, anxiety, emotional regulation, internal conflict, and intergenerational patterns. I also integrate cognitive behavioral and dialectical behavior therapy-informed tools to support insight, coping skills, and intentional change.
My approach is collaborative, reflective, and grounded in curiosity. I help clients better understand patterns in their relationships, family history, emotional reactions, and learned roles. Clients can expect a thoughtful, honest space that supports insight, coping skills, emotional regulation, and intentional change.
Starting therapy can be a meaningful step toward understanding yourself and your relationships more clearly. My hope is to offer a space where you feel respected, supported, and encouraged as you work toward growth, healing, and more intentional change. I would be honored to support you in that process.

Family therapy helps families resolve conflicts and strengthen their relationships. It is led by qualified mental health professionals like psychologists, licensed professional counselors (LPCs), and licensed clinical social workers (LCSWs) who have extensive training in family dynamics and group communication.
Thriveworks family therapists in Clearwater, FL usually begin by asking what everyone’s goals are for family counseling. Family members may need help with very specific issues or with general relationship functioning. But there are three main purposes in family counseling: to educate, to counsel, and to strengthen. Thriveworks also offers online family therapy and in-person services, so you may all meet in an office together or join a video call from your home depending on everyone’s location and availability.
The most effective form of Family therapy will often depend on the family itself, as there are many types of family therapy for therapists to use as they see fit in order to best meet the needs of their clients. However, one of the most commonly used types of family therapy is structural family therapy (SFT). SFT focuses specifically on family dynamics and interactions, looking at how they shape the relationships and structure present in the family. It can be effectively used to treat a variety of concerns.
This answer often looks different to each family that starts family therapy. However, some signs that your family might need to consider family counseling include frequent fights or misunderstandings, constant tension, experiencing loss, behavioral issues, marital issues, divorce, and blended family issues, among others.
In family therapy, therapists will often start by asking questions and assessing individual and family dynamics. From there, they may employ therapeutic techniques such as structured family therapy, CBT, strategic family therapy, and more depending on the present concerns and conflicts. From there, a therapist will work to open lines of communication between family members and facilitate emotional healing and growth.
Family therapy can be incredibly successful, with some studies reporting a success rate of almost 90% for improving participants’ emotional and mental health, and around 66% for improving their physical health.
Thriveworks therapists in Clearwater, FL offer both online family therapy and in-person family therapy. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
Family therapy is usually short term and solution-focused, with most families accomplishing their goals in 12 sessions or fewer. However, it can also last for longer if the probles at hand are more complex — and that’s okay, too.
Close relationships with our relatives can be rewarding, yet difficult when family dynamics turn negative. It’s important to stop negative dynamics and actions before they start to damage your meaningful relationships.
At Thriveworks in Clearwater, FL, our family therapists can help you and your relatives to enjoy healthier methods of communication and to learn how to compromise successfully. Call us today or book your session online to begin.
Positive relationships with family members are typically a source of comfort and respect. But when these connections turn sour, boundaries of respect and healthy communication may be crossed.

Some common signs of dynamics that can be remedied by a family therapist include:
