About David

David Moore is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in South Carolina with seven years of clinical experience. He works with adults facing stress, anxiety, addictions, depression, bipolar disorder, ADHD, relationship strain, grief, and issues around self-esteem. He also notes a focus on family of origin issues and attachment concerns.

Before private practice, he worked in a state psychiatric hospital and a community mental health crisis center. That early work involved supporting people with severe mental illness and helping stabilize crisis situations. Over the last three years he has concentrated on addiction recovery and emotional dysregulation.

In sessions he uses clear, practical methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy. He also brings Client-Centered Therapy, mindfulness practices, Narrative Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing into his work. These approaches are used to address patterns that trace back to childhood and family roles.

Typical sessions involve talking through current problems, identifying unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, and practicing skills for emotion regulation and communication. He emphasizes changing the stories people tell themselves about past events and building routines that support healthier responses.

People who are bothered by recurring family patterns, difficulty managing emotions, substance use concerns, or troubles with commitment and boundaries may find his style straightforward and skills-focused. Sessions are offered in English and carried out in line with local licensure and practice standards.

How David uses talk therapy methods online

David draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT sessions often involve setting small goals, practicing new responses, and reviewing progress in later meetings. This approach is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and patterns tied to family of origin issues.

He also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills. DBT emphasizes concrete skills practice and can be helpful for people who struggle with strong emotions or impulsive behavior. Client-Centered Therapy is used alongside these methods to focus on the person's immediate concerns and priorities.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. He will collaborate with each person to choose which methods fit their needs and goals, and adjust those choices over time based on what helps. The process is shared and practical rather than prescriptive.

Session formats are not detailed in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Online appointments can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. They can also support consistent practice of skills between meetings, which many people find useful.
