About David

David Moore is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) based in South Carolina. He focuses on helping people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, addiction, mood struggles, and big life changes. His approach is straightforward and practical, aimed at helping people regain daily stability and move toward goals they care about.

David draws from methods like cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and build workable skills. He also uses client-centered principles to keep sessions focused on each person's priorities. Mindfulness practices and narrative work are woven into sessions when they fit the person's needs.

His background includes work in a state psychiatric hospital and a community mental health crisis center, which shaped his experience with severe mental illness and crisis care. More recently he has spent several years supporting people with addictions, emotional dysregulation, anxiety, depression, and recovery-related concerns.

Sessions tend to focus on concrete changes: reducing intense reactions, improving communication, managing urges, and restructuring thinking patterns that hold people back. He also helps people make sense of trauma and shift the stories they tell about themselves through gradual exposure and mindfulness exercises.

People who want a collaborative, skills-based path often find this style helpful. To begin, readers should confirm current session options and scheduling before booking.

How his approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person's goals and perspective, giving space for people to guide what matters most in sessions. It helps when someone needs a therapist who listens closely and adjusts pacing to their needs.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and managing day-to-day stress by practicing new ways of thinking and acting.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes skills for handling intense emotions, improving relationships, and tolerating distress. It can be useful for people who struggle with emotional ups and downs or impulse control.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose or combine methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. That collaborative process helps tailor sessions so they feel useful and relevant.

Confirm the current session options before booking, as formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time so people can schedule appointments around work or caregiving. Talk with the therapist during the matching step to clarify how sessions will be arranged and what will work best for everyday life.
