About David
David Hopkins is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who centers his work on practical, evidence-informed methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people manage stress, anxiety, mood concerns, and substance-related challenges.
Background and approach
With eight years as an LPC and prior experience in the mental health field since 2006, he draws on a steady background to create focused, skill-based interventions tailored to each client. He also integrates techniques from Dialectical Behavior Therapy when addressing emotion regulation, impulsivity, or interpersonal difficulties.
His practice attends to a broad range of concerns including grief, anger, depression, attachment and abandonment issues, body image, caregiver stress, and difficulties around communication, control, and relationships. Financial worries, life purpose, and challenges linked to narcissistic dynamics are also within his stated focus.
Hopkins emphasizes respectful, sensitive, and compassionate collaboration, shaping conversations and treatment plans to match individual circumstances. He encourages clients to view the initial step toward change as an act of courage and positions himself as a steady professional ally throughout the therapeutic process.
CBT and DBT Approaches for Online Care
David Hopkins uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify unhelpful thoughts and patterns, then practice alternative thinking and behavior strategies to reduce anxiety, depression, and stress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy techniques are employed when the focus includes emotion regulation, impulsivity, or interpersonal conflict, teaching skills like distress tolerance and mindful communication.Selecting the right approach is a collaborative process. He works with clients to understand their goals, preferences, and day-to-day challenges, and tailors a plan that may combine CBT and DBT elements as appropriate. This shared decision-making helps ensure the techniques fit each person’s needs rather than applying a one-size-fits-all model.
Online sessions are available via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to offer flexibility around work, family, and location. These formats make it easier to maintain consistent care and practice skills between meetings, while allowing clients to choose what feels most convenient for their schedule and communication style.
