David Diana

David Diana is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in South Carolina with 20 years of experience. He tends to work with people who find themselves at a crossroads. Many come feeling overwhelmed, stuck, anxious, or grieving and want to move forward with clearer purpose.

His practice centers on helping people regain a sense of meaning and personal agency. Early sessions often focus on reducing immediate symptoms through practical exercises and fresh perspectives. Over time he looks toward deeper change that aligns with a person's values and life goals.

David uses a mix of evidence-based and insight-oriented practices. He pays attention to daily stressors and how past experiences shape current reactions. He also invites exploration of inner life and personal callings that can open new possibilities.

Sessions are conversational and reflective. Clients can expect to try concrete exercises as well as talk through the stories that keep them stuck. David aims to make therapy understandable and useful for everyday life.

This approach can help with stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, depression, coping with life changes, addictions, and career or relationship questions. He also offers support around life purpose, midlife transitions, and mood-related concerns.

How his approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages focusing on personal values and taking small, meaningful actions despite hard thoughts or feelings. It can help with anxiety, depression, and feeling stuck. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thinking and behavior and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful habits; it often helps with mood and stress management. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and empathy so a person can find their own answers and move toward growth.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to see which blend of methods fits their goals and situation. That conversation can start in the first few sessions and shift as needs change.

If you want online care, confirm available session formats before booking since formats are not listed here. Online options can make attending sessions easier to fit into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when time is tight, and reduce travel time. Therapists can adapt ACT and CBT exercises for remote sessions and use conversational Client-Centered work to help people reflect and plan between meetings.
