About David
Before independent practice, David spent years in hospital and community settings supporting people with severe mental illness and crisis needs. That early work gave him a lot of hands-on experience with addiction, emotional dysregulation, and recovery-focused care. Over recent years he has concentrated on trauma and on reshaping the stories people tell themselves.
David uses a mix of methods in sessions. He draws on client-centered work to keep the focus on the person, cognitive behavioral techniques to adjust unhelpful thoughts and routines, and dialectical behavior tools for managing strong emotions. He also includes mindfulness and narrative ideas to help people notice patterns and try new responses.
Sessions tend to be practical and goal-oriented. Clients can expect help developing coping skills, building healthier habits, and improving communication around relationship concerns. The overall aim is to support people as they move toward the life they want.
He has seven years of experience in mental health settings and continues to build his independent practice in South Carolina. Material from each session is guided by what the client wants to change and by achievable next steps.
How these approaches translate to online therapy
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person’s goals and lived experience. It involves active listening and reflecting so clients can clarify what matters and set practical goals. This style helps with relationship concerns, self-esteem, and life transitions.Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behavior. Sessions use exercises and homework to test new ways of thinking and acting, which can reduce anxiety, depression, and addictive patterns. Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) teaches skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving communication, which is useful for intense emotions and relationship conflicts.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match goals, needs, and preferences. Early sessions often include trying a few techniques and adjusting based on what helps most.
The practical benefits of online therapy include easier scheduling and fitting sessions into a busy week. It can make it simpler to have short check-ins, quieter conversations without travel, or sessions that work around work or caregiving duties.
