About David

David Diana is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in South Carolina with over 20 years of clinical experience. He often meets people who feel stuck at a crossroads - overwhelmed, anxious, depressed, or unsure about what comes next. He helps them name the immediate problems while guiding them toward clearer direction and renewed purpose.

His work begins with practical steps to ease symptoms. That can include talking through current stressors, trying simple exercises, and testing new ways of handling difficult moments. Alongside symptom relief, he pays attention to deeper patterns that shape daily life.

David draws on several therapeutic approaches to fit each person’s needs. He uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address current thoughts and behaviors. He also brings client-centered and Jungian perspectives when exploring meaning and inner life.

He helps people work through concerns such as anxiety, depression, grief, anger, relationship strain, addictions, parenting stress, career questions, and midlife doubts. He also supports those searching for life purpose or coping with major changes.

Sessions aim to be collaborative and straightforward. Clients can expect a focus on practical tools early on and deeper exploration over time when that feels right. People who prefer a thoughtful, curiosity-driven approach about why they feel stuck may find his style a good match.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

David commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to actions that match their values. ACT can be useful for anxiety, avoidance, and situations where someone wants clearer direction. He also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and trying new behaviors to change mood and daily functioning. CBT often helps with depression, anxiety, and coping skills.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options with each person and together decide which methods fit best for their goals and preferences. That collaborative process can mean trying practical skills first and exploring deeper life themes later.

Session logistics should be confirmed before booking, as the biography does not list specific formats. Ask about available options to find what fits your schedule and needs. Online therapy can make it easier to attend from different locations, fit sessions into a busy week, avoid travel time, or select a shorter check-in when life is hectic. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT and CBT techniques to work well through remote appointments, helping clients learn and practice tools between visits.
