David Moore , LPC

David Moore is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in South Carolina, holding license number SC LPC 8775. He recently began the transition into private practice after gaining experience in a range of clinical settings.

He started his clinical work in 2018 at a state psychiatric hospital, where he supported people with severe mental illness, and simultaneously worked with a community mental health crisis center. Those early roles provided a foundation in crisis stabilization and coordinated care.

Over the past three years he has focused on addictions, emotional dysregulation, anxiety, depression, batterer intervention treatment, men’s mental health, and recovery work. Trauma has remained a central concern in his practice, and he emphasizes helping clients reframe and rewrite the stories that shape their daily lives through mindfulness and exposure-based techniques.

His clinical toolkit includes cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), narrative approaches, and feedback-informed practices. David draws on these methods to help clients build coping skills, manage intense emotions, and pursue meaningful change toward the life they want to live.

Therapeutic Approaches for Online Support

David integrates cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) into his online sessions to help clients identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop practical skills for managing anxiety, depression, and addictive behaviors. CBT focuses on changing thoughts and behaviors that contribute to distress and is useful for goal-oriented symptom relief.

He also employs dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) strategies to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. DBT is particularly helpful for clients who struggle with intense emotions, self-destructive behaviors, or relationship conflicts.

Mindfulness practices are woven into his work to support grounding, increased self-awareness, and gradual changes in how clients relate to painful memories and sensations. These skills can complement exposure-based and narrative work when addressing trauma and stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. David collaborates with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, making adjustments as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, allowing clients to connect in the format that suits their schedule and comfort level. These options make consistent, ongoing work more accessible without sacrificing clinical focus or the ability to practice skills between sessions.
