David Hopkins, LPC

David Hopkins is a Licensed Professional Counselor who focuses on helping people manage stress and anxiety. He brings a direct, respectful approach and aims to make the first steps toward change feel manageable. Conversations are tailored to each person’s needs and paced to match what they can handle.

He draws on methods from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to address difficult emotions and unhelpful patterns. In sessions he helps people notice thoughts that increase worry, practice skills to regulate intense feelings, and try small changes that improve day-to-day functioning. The goal is practical coping over long, theoretical talks.

David has worked in the mental health field since 2006 and has been a Licensed Professional Counselor since 2016. That background includes supporting people through grief, anger, depression, and challenges with addiction. He also works with concerns like attachment and abandonment issues, body image, caregiver stress, and loneliness.

When people come with communication problems, control issues, or struggles around money and purpose, he looks for simple steps to restore a sense of control and meaning. He also addresses patterns tied to impulsivity, guilt and shame, forgiveness, and the effects of narcissistic behavior in relationships.

Sessions are delivered with sensitivity and without judgment. Prospective clients should confirm current session options before booking, and they can begin by completing the platform questionnaire and scheduling a time that fits their needs.

How CBT and DBT guide online work

CBT helps people identify and change thought patterns that fuel anxiety and stress. It uses simple exercises and homework to test new ways of thinking and behaving. DBT teaches skills for tolerating distress and managing intense emotions through mindfulness, emotion regulation, and interpersonal techniques.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process. The therapist works collaboratively to figure out which methods fit a person's goals and preferences. That may mean mixing CBT skill practice with DBT emotion-regulation tools based on how someone responds.

The practical benefits of online therapy can include easier scheduling and the ability to fit sessions into a busy day. Because the biography does not list specific session formats, confirm current options before booking. Many people find that remote work makes it simpler to keep regular appointments and to practice skills between sessions, helping therapeutic gains translate into everyday life.
