David Diana , LPC

David Diana is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in South Carolina with 20 years of clinical experience. He works with adults who find themselves at life crossroads and who may be feeling depressed, unhappy, overwhelmed, bored, anxious, or stuck. His training as an LPC means he is credentialed to provide psychotherapy and counseling services in South Carolina.

His practice centers on helping people reclaim a sense of meaning and personal agency. Early work often focuses on relieving presenting symptoms through fresh perspectives and practical exercises, while the longer term emphasis is on deeper, more lasting change. He combines pragmatic tools with reflective exploration to help individuals move beyond immediate distress toward renewed purpose.

David sees how everyday stress and past experiences shape the often-unseen dramas that influence choices and relationships. He explores those inner dimensions and callings so clients can engage life with greater intention and connection. He commonly supports people facing stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, depression, coping with life changes, addictions, relationship and family difficulties, trauma, parenting challenges, career concerns, and questions about life purpose and midlife transitions.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

David Diana draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to guide online work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice and accept difficult thoughts and feelings while clarifying personal values and taking committed action; it is useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathic listening and unconditional regard, offering a supportive space for self-exploration and confidence building. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, which can relieve symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and he treats that choice as a collaborative decision. He will work with individuals to identify goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, then tailor methods to fit those needs rather than applying a one-size-fits-all model.

Online therapy with him is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility and accessibility. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, maintain continuity through life changes, and access licensed professionals from different locations.
