David Moore, LPC

David Moore is a licensed professional counselor who helps people who are stressed, struggling with anxiety, or facing addiction and trauma. He focuses on practical steps people can use day to day. David works with issues like depression, grief, self-esteem, relationship concerns, and life changes. He practices in South Carolina and offers therapy in English.

David began clinical work in 2018 at a state psychiatric hospital while also supporting a community mental health crisis center. Over the past seven years he has worked with people managing severe mental illness, addiction, emotional dysregulation, and recovery challenges. Much of his recent work has involved supporting men’s mental health and programs related to batterer intervention treatment.

In sessions he uses client-centered methods to keep the conversation focused on each person’s goals. He draws on cognitive behavioral therapy to identify thinking patterns and DBT - dialectical behavior therapy - skills for emotion regulation. Mindfulness practices and narrative work are used to reshape unhelpful stories people tell about themselves.

David describes his approach as collaborative and practical. He uses feedback-informed methods to check progress and adjust work as needed. His aim is to help people reclaim aspects of their life they find important and build skills they can use outside sessions.

People who are looking for help with trauma, addictions, or coping with big life changes may find his mix of approaches useful. Before booking, confirm the current session formats and scheduling details.

How these approaches translate to online therapy

Client-centered therapy focuses on the person's goals and experience, letting conversation guide each session while the therapist provides support and reflection. This approach helps when someone wants a space to talk through decisions, relationships, or emotional struggles.

Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. It uses practical exercises and homework to change unhelpful thinking and behavior, which can help with anxiety, depression, and stress management.

Dialectical behavior therapy, DBT, teaches concrete skills for managing intense emotions, improving relationships, and reducing impulsive actions. Skills training and practice can reduce emotional reactivity and support recovery from addictive patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose which methods to try based on needs, goals, and preferences. That may mean mixing approaches and adjusting based on what helps most.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, avoid travel time, and use shorter check-ins when needed. Talk with the therapist about what will work best for scheduling, session length, and how to practice skills between meetings.
