David Sprouse, LCPC, LPC

David Sprouse is a licensed counselor who brings a practical, person-focused approach to therapy. He uses Client-Centered methods so people feel heard, and he combines that with tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help change unhelpful patterns. David emphasizes straightforward conversation and a relaxed professional style to make it easier to talk about difficult issues.

He has five years of licensed counseling experience alongside a long background in healthcare. That background includes work in addiction services and directing a medication assisted treatment center. He draws on that experience when helping people manage stress, addiction, trauma, anxiety, and depression.

In sessions he aims to create an open mood where thoughts and feelings can be shared without judgment. He helps people break problems into manageable steps and develop skills that fit day-to-day life. That can include coping strategies for chronic pain, tools for sleep and eating concerns, or practical steps for career and parenting stress.

David also works with matters like caregiver strain, body image, codependency, and forgiveness. He uses narrative and mindfulness techniques to help people make sense of hard experiences and build steadier routines. His style is collaborative, and he focuses on what helps a person move forward.

For people facing medical or life changes, he offers coaching-style support alongside traditional counseling. The goal is to empower clients to identify small changes that lead to clearer thinking and less overwhelm.

How these approaches translate to online counseling

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to each person's concerns. Online sessions can use that same attentive, person-led approach so conversations stay focused on what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy teaches clear strategies for changing thoughts and behaviors; it often uses short exercises and homework that transfer well to an online setting for daily practice.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the client to choose whether CBT, mindfulness, narrative work, or client-centered conversation fits best. Goals, preferences, and practical needs guide that choice rather than a one-size-fits-all plan.

Session formats are not specified here, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - fewer trips, simpler scheduling, and the ability to check in from between activities. Some people prefer shorter check-ins or phone conversations when they have limited time or lower bandwidth, while others use longer sessions for deeper work. Discussing these preferences at the start helps shape a plan that fits day-to-day living.
