David Sprouse, LCPC, LPC

David Sprouse is a licensed counselor with LCPC and LPC credentials and five years of licensed counseling experience. He keeps a straightforward, down-to-earth style that aims to help people talk about hard things without feeling judged.

He focuses on stress and anxiety, addictions, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, and depression. He also addresses sleep and eating issues, parenting and fatherhood stresses, career strain, attention difficulties, and compassion fatigue. His work includes support for people dealing with chronic illness, caregiver strain, and substance-related concerns.

David draws on client-centered approaches to build trust and make sessions feel approachable. He listens closely and helps people name what matters to them. From there he uses tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness to change unhelpful thoughts and reactions in practical steps.

He has direct experience with addiction care and has worked in medication assisted treatment settings. That background informs how he talks about substance use, relapse risk, and practical coping across daily life. He combines that experience with narrative and emotionally focused approaches to help people reframe difficult stories and strengthen important relationships.

Sessions emphasize collaboration and small, doable changes. David aims to create a relaxed atmosphere where people can be honest and explore next steps. To start, people answer a short matching questionnaire and then schedule based on availability.

How his approaches translate to online therapy

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following the person's lead. Online sessions let the therapist reflect back what matters and help people clarify goals and priorities. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors and teaches concrete skills for managing anxiety, cravings, or low mood. That approach works well when a therapist and client set clear, practice-oriented exercises to try between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative decision is revisited as work progresses so methods can be adjusted based on what helps most.

Confirm available session options before booking, as formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules demand. It also lets people continue care when medical stressors or recovery needs make regular in-person visits harder. Ask about session length and scheduling when you complete the matching questionnaire so arrangements fit daily routines.
