About David

David Moore is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in South Carolina. He helps people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma, mood swings, and life transitions. He speaks plain language in sessions and focuses on practical steps that make day-to-day life easier.

David draws on seven years of clinical experience that include work in a state psychiatric hospital and a community crisis center. That background shaped his approach to people dealing with serious mental health challenges and substance use. More recently he has spent time helping people with addiction recovery, emotional regulation, and men's mental health concerns.

In sessions he uses client-centered methods that keep the person’s goals front and center. He also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to change patterns of thought and behavior that get in the way. Dialectical behavior strategies are used when skills for emotion regulation and distress tolerance are needed.

Mindfulness and narrative work are part of his toolbox for addressing trauma and shifting unhelpful personal stories. Motivational interviewing is used to support readiness for change, especially around substance use and recovery goals. The focus is on small, usable changes rather than abstract theories.

People can expect a straightforward, collaborative style that balances skill teaching with discussion about meaning and identity. If someone is looking to address midlife questions, rebuild after loss, manage ADHD symptoms, or reduce harmful coping patterns, he offers practical options and a plan to move forward.

How David Applies Approaches to Online Therapy

David uses client-centered therapy to build a working relationship where the person's own goals lead the work. This approach focuses on listening, reflection, and helping people clarify what they want to change. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is used to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can be helpful for anxiety, depression, and ADHD-related patterns.

Finding the right approach is often part of early sessions. He will work together with each person to match methods to their goals, needs, and preferences. That means adjusting how much skills training, mindfulness, or narrative work is used based on progress and feedback.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, avoid travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also make it possible to continue treatment while managing work, family, or recovery obligations. Licensed professionals and therapists can adapt homework, mindfulness practices, and CBT exercises to an online setting so skills are usable between sessions.
