About David
David Diana is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in South Carolina with over 20 years of clinical experience guiding people through moments of transition.
Background and approach
He frequently meets with clients who arrive at crossroads feeling stuck, anxious, depressed, overwhelmed, or unsure of what comes next, and he focuses on restoring a sense of meaning and personal agency.
His approach often begins with relief-focused interventions to reduce immediate symptoms, using practical exercises and new perspectives to address stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, addictions, and mood concerns. Beyond symptom relief he emphasizes deeper, long-term change by exploring the inner patterns and life narratives that shape day-to-day experience.
Drawing on therapies such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and client-centered principles, he helps people identify values and possibilities for more engaged living. David frames therapy as a collaborative process that balances practical tools with exploration of the unconscious and existential questions.
He accepts international clients and offers a range of session formats to fit different schedules and needs, supporting those who want both immediate coping strategies and a pathway toward renewed purpose.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
David commonly integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in online work. CBT focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression, using structured exercises and measurable goals. ACT emphasizes values, acceptance of difficult emotions, and committing to actions that align with what matters most, which can be useful for coping with life changes, grief, and feelings of being stuck.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. He will work with clients to choose methods that fit their needs, goals, and preferences, combining practical symptom relief with exploration of personal meaning and deeper patterns when appropriate.
Online therapy with him is available via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and lifestyles. These options make it possible to access care from South Carolina or internationally while maintaining a consistent, goal-oriented process that balances short-term coping tools with longer-term personal growth.
