About David
David Moore is a licensed professional counselor practicing in South Carolina. He helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma, anger, depression, and other life changes. He works in plain language and focuses on practical next steps people can try between sessions.
David began clinical work in 2018 at a state psychiatric hospital, where he worked with people experiencing severe mental illness. He also spent time at a community mental health crisis center.
Background and approach
Those early roles shaped how he responds to urgent needs and complex situations. Over the past seven years he has focused much of his work on addiction, emotional regulation, anxiety, depression, and men's mental health and recovery. He often helps people who struggle with attachment, abandonment, codependency, communication problems, or family of origin issues.
He also supports people carrying grief, career stress, or the strain of major life transitions. In sessions he blends Narrative Therapy with cognitive behavioral techniques and dialectical behavior strategies. He uses mindfulness practices to help people notice patterns and make different choices.
Sessions are collaborative, with space to tell your story and try specific skills that fit your daily life. David holds the LPC credential, which stands for Licensed Professional Counselor.

How Narrative and Skills-Based Work Translate Online
David often combines Narrative Therapy and Client-Centered approaches with cognitive behavioral techniques. Narrative Therapy helps people tell and reframe the stories they live by, which can reduce shame and open options for change. Client-Centered work focuses on listening and building a respectful, accepting relationship that makes it easier to try new strategies.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) provides clear tools for changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, useful for anxiety, depression, and addiction. David uses these methods together so sessions include both storytelling and concrete skills practice. He approaches treatment as a team effort and will help clients decide which methods to emphasize based on their goals and day-to-day needs.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video allows face-to-face interaction for skills coaching and guided exercises. Phone sessions can work well when bandwidth or camera use is difficult. Live chat and text are useful for brief check-ins, homework prompts, or steady support between meetings. These options offer flexibility to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or other routines.
