David Sullivan, LCPC, LPC

David Sullivan, LCPC, LPC, helps people facing anxiety, relationship strain, addiction, grief, and life transitions. He offers straightforward support aimed at making daily life more manageable. He draws on practical methods to help clients set goals and build steps toward them.

He has 23 years of experience in mental health and holds a Master of Arts in Counseling and a Master of Divinity degree. He emphasizes working with each person’s values and goals rather than imposing his own beliefs. He notes having less experience with LGBTQ clients and approaches each person without judgment.

His work often focuses on managing thoughts, pausing before reacting, and building routines that reduce stress. That practical focus is helpful for people dealing with depression, severe anxiety, substance concerns, trauma, and major life changes. He also helps with career planning, assertiveness, boundaries, and closure after abuse.

Sessions draw from cognitive-behavioral ideas alongside client-centered listening, mindfulness, and motivational techniques. He aims to help people break unhelpful patterns and try small, achievable changes. He also supports those coping with family strain, parenting challenges, ADHD, chronic illness, and caregiving stress.

David works with people across multiple countries, including the United States, Canada, parts of Asia, Australia, Europe, and the UK. Prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire to begin and then schedule according to the therapist’s availability.

How certain approaches translate to online work

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so the client feels understood and in charge of goals. Online sessions can use that same listening style to help people name what matters and decide next steps.

Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) teaches specific skills to notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. In remote sessions the therapist can guide thought records, behavioral experiments, and step-by-step plans for managing anxiety, depression, or addictive urges.

Motivational interviewing helps people find their own reasons to change and build motivation in small steps. This approach can be useful when making life changes like reducing substance use, shifting relationship patterns, or pursuing career goals.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each client to choose techniques that match goals, values, and preferences. That process may combine listening, skill-building, mindfulness, and motivational coaching as needed.

Specific session formats are not listed here, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when a full session is not needed. Talk with the therapist about what will fit your schedule and daily routine so sessions are practical and useful.
