About David

David Moore is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in South Carolina with seven years of clinical experience. He works with young adults and others facing stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma, depression, and problems with relationships or self-esteem.

David began his work in 2018 at a state psychiatric hospital supporting people with severe mental illness. He also worked at a community mental health crisis center at the same time. Those roles gave him experience managing intense emotional distress and safety-related concerns.

For the last three years he has focused on addiction, emotional dysregulation, anxiety, depression, batterer intervention work, and men's mental health and recovery. He often helps people who are coping with life changes like job shifts, relationship breaks, or the pressure of starting out in adulthood.

In sessions he uses cognitive behavioral approaches, dialectical behavior strategies, narrative methods, and client-centered principles. He also integrates mindfulness practice and exposure techniques when they fit a person’s goals. Conversations are practical and aimed at changing unhelpful patterns.

David treats issues such as attachment and abandonment, communication problems, codependency, dissociation, and family of origin concerns. He also has experience with drug and alcohol addiction, anger, bipolar mood concerns, and ADHD. Prospective clients should confirm current session options before booking.

To start, a short matching questionnaire is completed and a first session is scheduled. Fees vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

How his approaches work in online sessions

David uses cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy as core approaches. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and changing behaviors that keep problems going, which can help with anxiety, depression, and some habit patterns. DBT teaches skills for managing strong emotions, tolerating distress, and improving communication, which is useful for emotional dysregulation and relationship conflicts.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with clients about their goals and preferences, then try methods that fit. This is a collaborative process and choices can change as progress is made.

Session formats are not specified in the profile, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around school, work, or job searches and allow brief check-ins when life gets busy. They can also reduce commute time and let someone join from a quieter environment when that helps them focus.
