Background and approach

With four years of professional experience, David emphasizes practical skills and collaborative problem solving to support clients as they work toward feeling more capable and balanced. David holds LPCC and LPC credentials and practices in South Carolina.

He encourages clients to treat the decision to begin therapy as an act of courage and aims to provide steady support throughout the therapeutic process.

Evidence-Informed Approaches for Online Care

David integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy into online work. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and mood disorders by using structured exercises and practical skills. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, respect, and reflective listening, creating space for clients to explore their goals and make decisions at their own pace.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and daily realities with each client and then tailor techniques from these approaches to fit individual needs, adjusting over time as progress and priorities evolve.

Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to increase flexibility and accessibility. These formats allow people to engage in therapy around work, family, or health constraints and offer multiple ways to practice skills between appointments. Licensed professionals can adapt interventions used in person to these remote formats to maintain continuity of care and meet clients where they are.
