David Moore, LPC

David Moore is a licensed professional counselor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma, and mood struggles. He writes plainly and listens closely to understand what is most pressing for each person. He works to make sessions practical and focused on daily life so change feels possible.

David brings seven years of clinical experience across hospital and community settings. Early in his career he worked in a state psychiatric hospital and a community crisis center. More recently he has supported people dealing with addiction, emotional dysregulation, anxiety, depression, and recovery-related challenges.

His approach combines straightforward problem-solving with skills practice. He uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify thinking and behavior patterns that keep problems going. He also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy to teach emotional regulation and mindfulness to build present-moment awareness.

Sessions often focus on rewriting painful personal stories and developing concrete coping tools. For people struggling after trauma, he integrates mindfulness and gradual exposure ideas to reduce avoidance. For addiction and recovery work, motivational interviewing elements are used to clarify goals and strengthen commitment.

David frames therapy as a collaborative process. He helps people set clear goals, track progress, and adjust strategies when something isn’t working. He aims for practical changes that carry into everyday routines.

How therapy approaches translate to online care

David often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. CBT sessions focus on practical steps, such as tracking thoughts, trying new routines, and practicing skills between meetings to reduce anxiety or depression.

He also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy to teach concrete emotion regulation and distress-tolerance skills. DBT-style coaching helps when emotions feel overwhelming and people need tools to stay steady in difficult moments.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. He will talk with each person about their goals, try strategies, and adjust methods if something isn’t helping. The process is collaborative and aimed at building skills that fit daily life.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to match different needs. Video allows face-to-face conversation and guided skills practice. Phone can work when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat or messaging suits brief updates, skill coaching, or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and keep momentum between visits.
