About David

David Moore is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in South Carolina with seven years of clinical experience. He works with adults who want to handle anger, stress, anxiety, addictions, and shifts such as grief or major life changes. He also addresses relationship struggles, self-esteem, and concerns related to ADHD and bipolar disorder.

David began his clinical work in a state psychiatric hospital in 2018. He also spent time at a community mental health crisis center. Those early roles involved people with severe mental illness and crisis-related needs, which shaped his practical approach to care.

Over the past three years he has focused on addictions, emotional dysregulation, anxiety, depression, and men's mental health and recovery. He has run batterer intervention work and programs that address substance use and related behaviors. He often helps people who feel stuck in patterns tied to family of origin, attachment, or abandonment wounds.

In sessions he uses clear tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy. He blends those with client-centered conversations, mindfulness practice, motivational interviewing, and narrative techniques. That mix is used to reduce reactive responses, manage strong feelings, and change unhelpful behavior patterns.

His approach is direct and practical. He works with clients to reframe unhelpful stories about themselves and build skills for handling anger, cravings, and relationship triggers. To start, he asks about current struggles, recent patterns, and short-term goals, then plans simple steps forward.

How David’s therapeutic approaches translate online

Client-centered therapy focuses on the client’s perspective and uses open conversation to clarify what matters most. It helps people who want to be heard and to make their own decisions about change.

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) breaks down thoughts, feelings, and actions into clear links and works on small behavior changes. It is useful for anger, anxiety, and shifting patterns that lead to reactive responses.

Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) teaches concrete skills for managing intense emotions and distress. It is practical for emotional dysregulation, cravings, and situations that trigger anger or impulsive acts.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which mix of methods fits their goals, needs, and preferences. That might mean trying a few techniques and adjusting based on what helps most.

Confirm current session formats before booking since the biography does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into daily life by reducing travel and allowing shorter check-ins during a break, or by choosing a session style that suits bandwidth and camera preferences. Licensed professionals can use conversational, skills-based, and homework-focused sessions effectively through remote appointments, depending on the agreed format.
