David Moore , LPC

David Moore is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in South Carolina - license number SC LPC 8775. He recently launched his private practice after several years of clinical work in inpatient and community settings, bringing practical experience with complex mental health and recovery needs.

He began his clinical career in 2018 at a state psychiatric hospital while also supporting individuals through a community mental health crisis center. Over the last three years he has focused on addictions, emotional dysregulation, anxiety, depression, batterer intervention programming, men's mental health, and recovery work. These experiences have informed a trauma-aware approach and a focus on helping people rebuild their life stories.

David integrates mindfulness practices and exposure strategies when appropriate, and draws from cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, narrative methods, and feedback-informed techniques. He emphasizes practical skills for managing difficult emotions, improving relationships, and addressing patterns that contribute to substance use or interpersonal conflict.

In private practice he works collaboratively with people to clarify goals and develop tailored plans that reflect each person's strengths and values. His background in both hospital and community crisis settings supports a steady, skills-focused approach to change.

Approaches for Online Healing and Skills-Building

David Moore commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy alongside mindfulness practices to support people in online care. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, making it useful for anxiety, depression, and patterns tied to substance use. Dialectical behavior therapy teaches concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can help with emotional dysregulation and relationship challenges. Mindfulness practice trains present-moment awareness and nonreactive observation of thoughts and feelings - a helpful complement for trauma processing and recovery from addiction.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. David works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their goals, preferences, and life circumstances, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds. This collaborative stance helps ensure therapy aligns with what matters most to the individual.

Online therapy offers flexible access to care through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to schedule sessions around work, family, and other commitments, and support ongoing skill practice between meetings. For many people, remote sessions make consistent engagement with a licensed professional more achievable and sustainable.
