David Moore , LPC

David Moore is a Licensed Professional Counselor in South Carolina, holding LPC certification (SC LPC 8775). He moved into private practice after formative years working in institutional and community settings, bringing clinical experience from both a state psychiatric hospital and a community mental health crisis center.

Beginning clinical work in 2018, he supported individuals with severe mental illness while also responding to acute needs in crisis care. During the most recent three years he concentrated on addictions, emotional dysregulation, anxiety, depression, batterer intervention treatment, men's mental health, and recovery. His practice places a clear emphasis on trauma work and on helping people reshape the stories they tell about their lives through mindfulness practice and exposure-based techniques.

David integrates cognitive behavioral therapies, dialectical behavior therapy, narrative approaches, and feedback-informed methods to guide treatment. He frames therapy as a collaborative process aimed at helping people regain agency and move toward the life they want to build.

Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care

David draws on cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and try new patterns of thinking and behaving. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and for addressing patterns that maintain addictive behaviors.

He also uses dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), which emphasizes skills for managing intense emotions, improving interpersonal effectiveness, and tolerating distress. DBT can be especially useful for emotional dysregulation, anger, and relationship challenges.

Mindfulness therapy is another core element, teaching present-moment awareness and strategies to reduce reactivity. Mindfulness practices can support trauma processing, anxiety management, and sustained recovery work.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. David works collaboratively with clients to choose methods that fit their goals, needs, and preferences, adapting strategies as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging let clients access licensed professionals from their daily routines. This range of options can make it easier to maintain consistent care, balance work and family commitments, and engage in therapy in ways that feel most manageable.
