David Moore, LPC

David Moore greets people with a calm, practical approach. He is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in South Carolina. He focuses on trauma and abuse alongside stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, and other concerns.

He started his clinical work in 2018 at a state psychiatric hospital where he supported people with severe mental illness. He also worked at a community mental health crisis center early in his career. Over the last several years he has concentrated on addictions, emotional regulation, and men's mental health and recovery.

David uses straightforward, skills-based methods such as cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy. He also brings client-centered and narrative techniques into sessions, and often integrates mindfulness and motivational interviewing. Sessions tend to emphasize learning practical coping skills and reshaping unhelpful stories about the past.

His work often includes exposure approaches and mindfulness exercises for people dealing with trauma. He aims to help clients develop better emotional control, reduce harmful behaviors, and find clearer goals for recovery. He tailors the plan to each person rather than using a single formula.

David has seven years of clinical experience since beginning practice in 2018. He is building a private practice in South Carolina and works with adults on a range of concerns including addiction, mood symptoms, relationship issues, and attention difficulties.

How David’s methods translate to online work

David commonly draws on cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy to help people learn new coping skills and change behaviors. CBT focuses on identifying thought patterns and testing them with real-life experiments to reduce anxiety and depressive symptoms. DBT emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and building routines that help with impulsive or self-harming behaviors.

He also uses client-centered and mindfulness approaches to help people notice what matters to them and build present-moment skills. Mindfulness exercises are practical breathing and attention practices that can reduce reactivity and support trauma work. Together these methods aim to create a plan that matches each person’s goals and needs.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to decide which methods to try first and adjust based on how it’s going. This conversation about fit is part of early sessions rather than a one-time choice.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current session options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit work into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also lets people try behavioral experiments or mindfulness practices between sessions and bring those experiences back for discussion.
