More about David
- 3 years' experience
- Male
- LPC
I am licensed in Virginia with 3 years of professional work experience. I take a grounded, transparent approach to counseling, and work with people to explore their underlying emotions and patterns of thinking that cause people to struggle. I feel that someone does not need to be struggling to seek counseling. I have experience working with depression, anxiety, self-esteem, PTSD, anger, substance use, self-harm, suicidality, grief, personality disorders, families, and couples. I am certified to diagnose and treat personality disorders.

About online counseling

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.
