About David

David Yoder is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with six years of clinical experience. He focuses on working with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, and life transitions. His manner is down-to-earth and aims to make sessions feel natural and manageable for someone who may be worried or overwhelmed.

David centers his work on a person-centered approach. That means he starts from how each person experiences their struggles and follows their pace.

Background and approach

He believes people come into therapy with different stories and that those stories shape how change happens. He also draws on tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy to help with unhelpful thinking patterns, emotional regulation, and practical coping skills. Hypnotherapy is included among the methods he uses when it fits a person's goals and preferences.

David has helped people with a broad range of concerns including relationship strain, parenting stress, grief, sleeping problems, ADHD, bipolar and mood difficulties, and issues around identity and self-esteem. He pays attention to problems that often occur together, such as substance use and trauma, and works to address them in context.

Sessions are held remotely and can include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. He bases treatment on what a person needs and likes, aiming to build clear goals and practical steps toward them.

Online support

Approaches for Online Change and Skill Building

David often combines person-centered listening with practical methods so online sessions feel focused and useful. Client-centered therapy involves following a person's own goals and perspective, helping them name what matters and decide next steps. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors and teaches specific strategies to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and change patterns that cause distress. Hypnotherapy is used as another option to support relaxation and to reinforce new ways of thinking when a person is open to that method.

Choosing the right mix of approaches is part of the process. He works collaboratively to figure out which methods match a client's needs, goals, and preferences, and adjusts the plan as progress is made. The aim is to set clear goals and choose tools that feel helpful for everyday life.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which offer flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. Video calls allow more visual interaction for deeper conversation, phone sessions can work well when bandwidth is limited, and chat or text messaging can suit quick check-ins or ongoing support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit care into work, school, or family routines.
