About David
He began clinical work in 2018 at a state psychiatric hospital and also worked at a community mental health crisis center. Over the past seven years he has spent significant time supporting people with addiction, emotional dysregulation, anxiety, depression, and recovery-focused care. His practice has included work with trauma and with shifting the stories people tell about themselves.
David draws from client-centered methods that keep the conversation focused on each person’s goals. He also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and DBT skills to manage intense emotions. Mindfulness exercises and motivational interviewing are part of how he helps people stay engaged in change.

For those dealing with traumatic brain injury concerns, he offers symptom-focused support and practical coping tools.
David works in English and practices in South Carolina. He asks new clients to complete a short questionnaire to match goals and schedules. From there, people can book sessions that suit their needs and timing.

How David’s Approaches Translate to Online Care
David uses client-centered work to keep sessions focused on what matters most to each person. That means conversations start with your goals and priorities, and progress is guided by what you say is helpful. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at thoughts and actions that maintain distress and teaches concrete ways to shift them, which can be practiced between sessions.Dialectical behavior therapy provides specific skills for managing intense emotions and improving relationships. DBT skills like distress tolerance and emotion regulation are taught step by step and can be applied in daily life, including after an online session. Together these approaches support both short-term relief and longer term habit change, and the therapist will collaborate with each client to find the best mix based on needs and preferences.
This biography does not list which online session formats are used, so confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time from a schedule. Therapists and licensed professionals often adapt homework, mindfulness practice, and skills coaching to work well in remote sessions, helping people build the routines and coping tools they want.
