About David
David Diana is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in South Carolina with more than 20 years of clinical experience. He often meets people at turning points in life - when they feel stuck, overwhelmed, anxious, depressed, or unsure what to do next. He helps them manage immediate symptoms while looking toward fuller change.
His work aims to restore a clearer sense of purpose and direction. In sessions he uses practical exercises and new ways of looking at problems to reduce stress and ease anxiety.
Background and approach
He focuses on both short-term relief and longer-term growth. That might mean learning skills to cope today and then shifting toward deeper work over time. David pays attention to how daily pressures and past experiences shape feelings and behavior.
He talks with clients about those patterns so they can make different choices. The goal is to help people reengage with life in ways that feel more meaningful. He draws on several therapeutic approaches to match each person’s needs, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy - ACT, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy - CBT, and client-centered methods.
Those tools are used to address concerns like anxiety, depression, grief, addiction, parenting challenges, relationship and intimacy issues, and questions about life purpose. Sessions are offered in English and David accepts international clients. He works with people ready to examine both surface problems and the deeper questions that underlie them.
Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy - ACT helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting ruled by them. It emphasizes identifying personal values and taking committed steps toward a meaningful life, which can help with anxiety, depression, and feeling stuck. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy - CBT focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses practical exercises and skill-building to change unhelpful thinking and reduce symptoms like worry or low mood. Client-Centered Therapy creates a supportive, nonjudgmental space where the client’s perspective guides the work and builds self-understanding and confidence.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. The therapist collaborates with each person to figure out which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That might mean starting with symptom-focused CBT exercises, then moving toward ACT or deeper client-centered exploration as goals evolve.
Online sessions let people access this work with more scheduling flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction, phone sessions offer a simpler option, and live chat or text-based messaging supports ongoing check-ins and coaching-style contacts. These formats make it easier to keep therapy going around work, parenting, and life obligations while still using the same therapeutic tools.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.
Client-Centered Therapy
The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
