David Moore, LPC

David Moore is a licensed professional counselor who helps people struggling with anxiety, stress, addiction, depression, and grief. He works with clients to address emotional dysregulation and challenges that get in the way of daily life. He practices in South Carolina and offers a straightforward, down-to-earth approach to care.

David began his clinical work in 2018 at a state psychiatric hospital, and he also worked for a community mental health crisis center. Over the past seven years he has focused on addiction, men’s mental health and recovery, and interventions for people who have caused harm. That experience shaped how he sees problems and what helps people move forward.

His sessions prioritize clear goals and practical skills. He uses cognitive behavioral techniques to spot and change patterns of thinking and behavior. Dialectical behavior therapy skills are used when emotions feel overwhelming, and mindfulness practices are taught to help people stay present and reduce reactivity.

David also draws on narrative approaches to help people reframe life stories and motivational interviewing to strengthen readiness for change. He aims to tailor these methods to each person's needs and pace, focusing on what clients want to work toward.

People who come to him can expect direct, skill-focused work alongside opportunities to reflect on how past experiences shape current choices. He encourages active collaboration so goals stay practical and achievable.

How his approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on building a respectful, listening relationship where the client sets goals and the therapist follows their lead. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches clear skills to notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, useful for anxiety, depression, and addiction. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete skills for handling intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness, often through short exercises and practice between sessions.

Finding the best approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match their needs, goals, and comfort level. That might mean combining skills training with mindfulness or using motivational interviewing to build readiness for change.

Because session formats are not listed in the biography, confirm current online options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow focused check-ins during a workday. Some formats also let people use audio-only check-ins or shorter sessions when that fits life demands better. Licensed professionals can adapt these methods to help clients learn skills, reframe stories, and build momentum toward recovery.
