About David
David Diana is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in South Carolina with 20 years of clinical experience. He works with people who feel stuck, overwhelmed, anxious, or depressed and who want to change how they relate to their life. He focuses on helping clients find more meaning and clearer direction when they reach a crossroads.
Sessions often begin by easing immediate symptoms. He uses practical exercises and new ways of looking at problems to reduce anxiety, lift mood, and make daily life more manageable.
Background and approach
That early work creates space for deeper exploration. Over time the focus broadens to address life purpose and deeper patterns that shape choices. He looks at how past experiences influence current behavior and mood.
This helps people make changes that fit their values and long-term goals. His approach blends several therapeutic styles, and he adjusts methods to match each person’s needs. Meetings are straightforward and conversational.
David aims to help clients gain insight and build skills they can use between sessions. People who come for help may be dealing with grief, relationship problems, addiction, career transitions, parenting stress, midlife questions, or mood concerns. He helps people move from feeling stuck toward clearer priorities and a renewed sense of agency.
Approaches that guide online work and what they do
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values. It focuses on noticing difficult thoughts and feelings without letting them dictate actions, which can help with anxiety, depression, and life transitions.Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental conversation where the client leads the pace and topic. This approach supports people who need a listening space to find their own answers and rebuild confidence.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and uses practical exercises to shift unhelpful patterns. It is useful for anxiety, low mood, and managing daily stress.
Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they will try methods and adjust the plan based on progress and feedback.
Online sessions use video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video is good for longer conversations and interactive exercises. Phone sessions work when bandwidth or camera use is difficult. Live chat and text are helpful for brief check-ins, ongoing coaching, or when a shorter touchpoint fits a busy day. These options let people fit therapy into work, caregiving, or travel schedules while working with licensed professionals.
