About David

David Moore is a licensed professional counselor (LPC #8775) practicing in South Carolina who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma, and mood concerns.

Background and approach

He draws on seven years of clinical experience that began in a state psychiatric hospital and expanded into community crisis services and addiction treatment. His work often addresses anger, relationship challenges, grief, self-esteem, career transitions, bipolar symptoms, and ADHD, alongside related issues such as attachment, codependency, and family-of-origin struggles.

David blends cognitive behavioral techniques with client-centered and mindfulness-based practices to support clients in reshaping unhelpful patterns and coping more effectively. He also uses dialectical behavior therapy strategies, narrative approaches, and motivational interviewing to address emotional regulation, substance use, and recovery goals.

Recent practice has included exposure-informed work and reframing personal narratives to reduce the impact of trauma. In independent practice he offers multiple online session formats to accommodate different needs, and describes therapy as a collaborative process that incorporates feedback to track progress and adjust methods when necessary.

Integrating evidence-based approaches into online care

David frequently uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can be especially useful for anxiety, depression, and patterns related to addiction. He also draws on dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) strategies to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness for people struggling with intense emotions or impulsive behavior.

Choosing the right method is part of the therapeutic process, and he works collaboratively with clients to determine which approaches fit their goals and preferences. That means trying techniques, gathering feedback, and adapting the plan as progress unfolds so the work stays aligned with what the client needs.

Online therapy with him is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to support flexibility and access. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life changes, and practice skills between meetings while staying connected with a licensed professional.
