About David
David Routly is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Georgia with 18 years of experience. He works with people who struggle with anger, addiction, anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship problems, and the stress of life changes.
He keeps sessions straightforward and practical. He listens to what is happening now, then helps people identify small, realistic steps to change how they respond to triggers. He uses everyday language and concrete tools rather than jargon. Sessions focus on what a person can do between meetings to feel a bit more in control.
David draws on a mix of methods to meet different needs. He uses client-centered techniques to understand each person’s experience. He applies Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot thinking patterns that keep anger and anxiety active. He also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for managing strong emotions and EMDR for people processing trauma.
He works with issues beyond anger, including grief, intimacy concerns, sleep problems, parenting strain, ADHD, compassion fatigue, and matters connected to identity such as LGBT concerns. He also addresses more specific challenges like attachment and body image problems.
Sessions are practical and goal-oriented. David helps people test new ways of reacting, practice emotion regulation skills, and plan for real situations that previously led to losing temper or building resentment. He encourages steady progress rather than quick fixes.
How his approaches translate to online work
David uses Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in ways that fit online sessions. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting to clarify what matters most. It helps people feel understood and notice what patterns they want to change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches concrete strategies to break cycles that feed anger and anxiety.He also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills for emotion regulation and distress tolerance. DBT supplies step-by-step practices for managing intense emotions and responding differently in tense moments. Together these approaches give practical tools to use between sessions and during stressful situations.
Finding the right mix of methods is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to decide which approaches fit their goals and preferences. That plan can change as progress is made and new challenges appear.
The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also make it simpler to practice skills in real-life routines, so new ways of responding have a chance to stick.
