David Diana, LPC

David Diana is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in South Carolina with 20 years of clinical experience. He often meets people at turning points - times when they feel stuck, overwhelmed, anxious, or depressed and want change. He focuses on helping people regain a sense of direction and meaning in everyday life.

He begins by addressing the immediate concerns that brought someone in. That may include short-term exercises and new ways of looking at a problem to reduce symptoms like anxiety or low mood. Over time, sessions move toward deeper work that looks at what matters most to the person.

David pays attention to how daily stress and past experiences shape current behavior. He explores those patterns with clients so they can make choices that fit their values. His style combines practical tools with attention to inner life and long-term goals.

People who come when facing life changes, career shifts, midlife questions, or grief often find the mix of symptom relief and meaning-focused work helpful. He also addresses issues such as relationships, intimacy concerns, parenting strains, addictions, and mood difficulties.

In sessions, David uses a range of approaches to match each person’s needs. He aims to create a collaborative space where clients try new perspectives, practice different skills, and build clearer direction for their next steps.

Therapeutic approaches and online work that fit your life

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and take small steps toward a life that matters to them. It often focuses on accepting difficult feelings while committing to meaningful actions, which can help with anxiety, depression, and feeling stuck.

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship where the therapist follows each person's pace. This approach supports people who need a listening space to sort out choices, grief, and identity questions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. CBT can be useful for managing stress, mood problems, and anxiety symptoms.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. That means trying tools, adjusting focus, and checking in regularly to see what helps most.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the specific session options before booking. Many people find remote sessions easier to fit into busy schedules, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Ask about scheduling, session length, and how the therapist balances practical exercises with deeper exploration so sessions match your life and goals.
