David Steinman, LPCC, LPC

David Steinman is a licensed counselor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and depression. He approaches each person with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. David encourages practical first steps and supports clients through change at a manageable pace.

He uses a conversational, person-focused style. Sessions are tailored to the individual rather than following one fixed plan. David emphasizes clear goals and small, achievable steps to build confidence and reduce overwhelm. He also works with people experiencing compassion fatigue and mood-related struggles.

David draws on several common therapeutic approaches to guide work in sessions. He uses Client-Centered Therapy to follow the client’s lead and build a trusting relationship. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thinking patterns and shape new behaviors. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) techniques and mindfulness practices support emotion regulation and stress management.

With four years of clinical experience, David blends practical strategies and open conversation. He tailors dialog and plans to fit what each person needs right now. The overall aim is to help clients move toward a more fulfilling and manageable life.

David holds LPCC and LPC credentials and practices in South Carolina. He invites people to take the first step and reach out when they are ready to work on change.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

David works with Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as primary ways to help people in session. Client-Centered Therapy is about following the client's lead, listening closely, and building a collaborative relationship that guides the work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety and improve mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will discuss options with each person and together decide which methods fit the client’s goals and preferences. That collaborative planning can include trying a technique for a few sessions and adjusting based on what helps.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm available options before booking. Online counseling can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also lets people choose whether to use video or audio when those formats are offered. Ask about current session options when you schedule to match approach and format to your life.
