David Sullivan

David Sullivan, LCPC, LPC helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief, addiction, or major life changes. He speaks plainly and focuses on practical steps that can make daily life feel more manageable. He also supports people dealing with relationship strain, career crossroads, sleep and eating concerns, and challenges tied to trauma and abuse.

He brings over two decades of experience in mental health and holds a Master of Arts in Counseling and a Master of Divinity degree. He does not impose his personal beliefs on clients and centers work around each person’s own values and goals. His practice emphasizes clear, doable strategies rather than abstract theory.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy forms much of his foundation, so sessions often focus on recognizing unhelpful thought patterns and trying new ways of responding. He also uses client-centered listening and mindfulness practices to help people gain calm and perspective. Trauma-Focused Therapy is part of his toolkit when addressing past harm and its ongoing effects.

He has worked with many issues across the lifespan, including ADHD, bipolar symptoms, caregiving stress, and attachment-related concerns. He notes less experience with LGBTQ clients and frames that honestly when matching people to care. He works with clients across several countries, and sessions are conducted in English.

His aim is to help clients move forward steadily, build stronger boundaries, and create practical plans for work and life. To begin, he invites people to take initial steps that fit their needs and schedule.

How Trauma-Focused, CBT, and Client-Centered Work Translate Online

Trauma-Focused Therapy focuses on helping people process past harms and reduce their ongoing impact. Online sessions can be used to gradually approach difficult memories, learn coping skills, and build a plan for healing. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact; online work often includes practice assignments, thought records, and behavior experiments that fit into daily life. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes being heard and understood; in online sessions the therapist offers attentive listening and reflection to help people clarify their priorities and values.

Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.

Many people find online therapy helps fit sessions into busy schedules, reduces travel time, and makes it easier to use short check-ins between other commitments. It can support step-by-step work on trauma, mood, anxiety, and everyday coping while keeping the focus on practical skills and personal goals.
