David Sprouse, LCPC, LPC

David Sprouse is a licensed counselor who focuses on practical, person-centered care. He uses a relaxed, professional style that aims to help people feel at ease and speak openly about what’s worrying them. He emphasizes clear steps and steady support for change.

He draws on five years of counseling experience alongside a long background in healthcare. That mix informs his work with stress, anxiety, addiction concerns, relationship trouble, trauma, and depression. He has specific experience with issues such as sleep and eating struggles, coping with life changes, and burnout-related concerns like compassion fatigue.

In sessions he blends client-centered methods with cognitive behavioral strategies, emotionally focused ideas, mindfulness practices, and narrative work. That means sessions often include listening, skill-building, exploring relationship patterns, and learning ways to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.

He holds LCPC and LPC credentials and works from Virginia. Sessions are conducted in English. To begin, clients select the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule according to the therapist’s availability.

How therapeutic approaches shape online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and helping people set their own goals; it is useful when someone needs a supportive space to talk and decide next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors affect feelings and teaches practical skills to change patterns, which can help with anxiety, depression, and addictive behaviors.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, history, and preferences, and together they will choose which ideas to use. That means sessions can shift over time as needs change, with both the therapist and client deciding what helps most.

Specific session formats are not listed in the profile, so confirm current online options before booking. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy day, reduce travel time, allow shorter or more frequent check-ins when useful, and help maintain continuity during life transitions. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT or client-centered techniques to work well through remote sessions, focusing on skills practice, thought records, relationship work, and mindfulness exercises that translate to an online setting.
