About David
David Brand is a licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) who aims to provide calm, straightforward help when life feels overwhelming. He listens first and asks questions that get to what matters. He wants people to leave sessions with clearer next steps, not just more worry.
He spends time building a comfortable working relationship so people can speak honestly. In session he joins the conversation, points out patterns, and offers practical strategies to try between meetings.
Background and approach
He combines a teaching style with active listening to help people learn new ways of handling stress and strong emotions. David works with adults on concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and struggles with focus and attention like ADHD. He also helps people dealing with relationship friction, family issues, parenting strain, anger, addiction, and life changes that feel hard to manage.
His approach draws on cognitive behavioral techniques for changing unhelpful thinking, dialectical skills for emotional regulation, and client-centered methods that keep the person’s goals in focus. He uses these methods to practice new skills, improve communication, and build routines that support daily life. David trained in education and brings that teaching experience into therapy sessions.
He is a husband and father and speaks from an understanding of family life and its stresses. He practices in Ohio and conducts sessions in English as an LPCC based in the state.
Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters most to a person and building small, value-guided steps toward those goals. It helps when avoidance or feeling stuck keeps someone from living the life they want. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets the thoughts and behaviors that keep problems active, teaching practical exercises to reframe thinking and change routines that affect mood and focus. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills useful for intense feelings and impulsive actions.Figuring out which approach fits best is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, try out strategies, and adjust the plan based on what helps most. Many people use a mix of approaches so the work matches real-life needs and preferences.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video is useful for deeper conversation and practicing communication skills. Phone works well when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and messaging support brief check-ins, homework reviews, or shorter coaching-style moments between longer sessions. These options help fit therapy into busy days and varied routines.
