David Cao

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual • California


I’m David Cao, a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner providing online psychiatric evaluation and medication management for adults throughout California. I especially enjoy working with young adults dealing with anxiety, depression, stress, burnout, overthinking, feeling overwhelmed, or feeling mentally stuck.

If reaching out for psychiatric care feels intimidating, my goal is to make the process feel more approachable. My style is calm, laid-back, straightforward, and collaborative, with a focus on creating a low-pressure, nonjudgmental space where you can talk openly about what’s been going on.

I have over 7 years of experience in mental health care and understand how difficult it can be to manage work, school, relationships, and everyday responsibilities while also struggling with your mental health.

During our appointments, we’ll take time to understand your concerns, discuss whether medication may be helpful, and review your options in clear, straightforward language. Medication is never pressured or guaranteed. When appropriate, we’ll discuss potential benefits, risks, alternatives, and what you can realistically expect.

My goal is for you to leave each appointment feeling heard, informed, and confident about the next step, rather than judged, rushed, or overwhelmed.
