About David
David Yoder is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Missouri with six years of clinical experience. He works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, relationship strain, grief, sleep trouble, parenting stress, anger, ADHD and related concerns. He also lists work around career questions, bipolar mood concerns, and identity issues such as LGBT matters.
He describes most of his background as focused on fear-based struggles and transitions. He uses a person-centered approach as the main way of working. That means conversations begin with the individual and what matters to them, not a fixed checklist.
Alongside a client-centered stance, he draws on practical tools. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) are part of his toolkit for managing thoughts, behaviors, and strong emotions. He also uses hypnotherapy and existential approaches when those methods fit the issue at hand.
Sessions aim to help people identify what they want to change and take small steps toward that goal. He notes that people experience problems differently, so the strategies he offers are matched to each person’s situation. Work might include skill practice, talking through past patterns, or brief experiential techniques like breathwork.
He frames counseling as collaborative and straightforward. New clients complete a short matching questionnaire to get started and then schedule a first session through the online therapy options.
How his approaches translate to online work
David uses client-centered methods to start, which means sessions focus on the person's priorities and pace. In practice this looks like listening, clarifying goals, and checking in on what helps most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, useful for anxiety, sleep problems, and anger management. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers skills for tolerating strong emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness, which can help with impulsivity and relationship strain.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. He will discuss options, try methods for a few sessions, and adjust based on what feels useful. That collaborative process helps match techniques to the client's day-to-day goals and limits.
Confirm the available session formats before booking because the biography did not list specific options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when time is tight, or avoid travel to an office. Talk with him through the initial questionnaire and scheduling steps to find how sessions can fit into everyday life.
