More about David

- LPC, LCPC
I would be happy to help you move forward in your life. I have over 20 years of experience in the mental health field. I have a M.A. in Counseling and also a Master of Divinity degree, but I never superimpose my beliefs or convictions on anyone else, because that is not ethical. My aim is to help individuals and couples move forward in life in a consistent manner with their particular goals and values and convictions. As for experience, I have the least experience working with LGBTQ clients. For licensure I have the LPC, and for certification I have the CADC. As such, I am able to help individuals with issues of depression, severe anxiety, major life changes and losses, substance abuse issues, relationship issues, learning to be assertive and to have boundaries, closure for trauma and abuse, and helping individuals create a strategy for finding an ideal career. I draw on several different treatment approaches, but my foundation is the Cognitive-Behavioral approach, because it is proven that guarding the thoughts, avoiding assumptions, and learning to pause and reflect rather than just reacting is what helps people the most to be at peace with themselves, and to better handle the stressors that life throws at us. I look forward to working with you.

About online counseling
- Affordable.

- Convenient.

- Available now.
- There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.
Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

David has given me tools that have tremendously helped me
David is very proactive with suggestions that are helpful in dealing with relationships. His insights are helpful in giving perspectives that are sometimes not very obvious. Overall good listener and caring person.

We've only had one session but lots of written communication. So far sound advice and I look forward to working with him.
David is very personable and presented himself as a friend our talks are fruitful
It is important and for sure God´s guidance, that David Sullivan was chosen to be my counselor. He is a Christian with the Word of God as a foundation in a very authentic and honest way. I can learn from him .. and it gives me hope. Added to it he can use ressource like deep expertise and experience, which seems to be at one side from his work and the other side also from his personal life - this is my impression. Also he seems to understand my goals and interests in a special way. He empowers me to go after them, and seems to have good ideas .. a speciality, which I appreciate from American people. I am coming from a country, where people mostly are not used to be very clear and on point, so it is a support for me, that David is exactly this: clear and on point regarding my life circumstances and my next steps. At this point of my life, David is the right person - it is for sure God´s guidance, that I met him. This platform makes it possible, that I can a counselor from so far away. Tankyou.
I appreciate David Sullivan's wisdom and insight as he helps me process my feelings and emotions. I am grateful for his practical strategies on how to navigate through personal triggers, overcome ruminating, and establish new thought patterns to support a healthy fulfilled life.
Very professional and shows great concern for my issues
David Sullivan comes to the counseling session with great experience, wisdom and insight. He helped me to identify my own personal core values, personality type, and love language. He then used that information to help me understand why I react to various situations the way I do, and he helped me to see how my core values and personal beliefs shape how I view life and see the world. He has helped me navigate through past trauma and my own limiting beliefs. I have learned how to set healthy boundaries, personal goals that serve me well and to see myself through the eyes of love, respect and appreciation.
I could not be happier with the experience and expertise Mr. Sullivan has displayed during our phone calls/video calls. He listened to the issues at hand and gave me sound advice and also many assignments that have been helping me with my anxiety due to issues in my work place. I highly recommend him if anyone is in need of a very strong Kindom Minded counselor or just a very strong counselor who will help you and provide invaluable feedback and tips. Thank you!
Best therapist with great advise
David has been able to acknowledge my feelings and hear me. I feel understood and respected. He has been great listening to me, takes notes to keep up on what we’ve discussed and suggestions that have been made, and goes above and beyond to relay resources that could be of further help in my personal growth.
Big help, thanks!
Doctor David has been nothing but great with me, he has listened to everything I say and I never have felt judge. I feel like I can relax whenever we are in a session and that I can be myself which makes it better to explain my problems
I really am so happy I found David! He is intelligent, compassionate, and has a Christian background, which is extremely important to me. Yet, he's not judgmental. He just helps explain things when I have questions. I am grateful to have found him.
I am very grateful for David. I originally wanted to be paired up with a woman, but I saw David as an option and he seemed more qualified than the rest with many more years of experience and specialized in more things that related to my situation. He is very responsive and provides a lot of information and explanations to help better understand my situation and myself. Thanks so much David! I’m honestly glad I chose you in the end.
Very happy with my sessions with Mr. Sullivan. He offers me support and practical advice for coping and overcoming issues that I am dealing with. He is responsive and easy to talk to! Feeling hopeful about continued sessions with Mr. Sullivan.
David Sullivan is a wonderful professional who combines psychological expertise with spiritual insight. David provides Christian-oriented advice and helps me connect back to God in tough times. He also is very patient, and took the time to connect with me on video and phone call. Highly recommend. 5 stars!
