David Hopkins is a Licensed Professional Counselor who focuses on helping people manage stress and anxiety. He guides clients through hard moments like grief, addiction struggles, anger, and low mood. David speaks plainly and makes a clear plan that fits each person's situation.

Background and approach
He uses approaches that help people change unhelpful thoughts and build better coping skills. Sessions are shaped around what a person needs. David listens first, then lays out simple strategies to try between visits.
He aims to make therapy straightforward and useful for daily life, not just during sessions. People often come for help with relationship-related struggles such as attachment or communication problems, or for personal concerns like guilt, shame, and questions about life purpose. He also supports those facing caregiver stress, financial worries, or isolation.
David emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and a calm, steady presence in sessions. He invites people to take small steps and checks progress along the way. The pace and focus are adjusted as goals change.
How CBT and DBT fit into online therapy
David uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT breaks problems into manageable steps and teaches skills that can reduce anxiety and lift mood over time.He also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy for teaching emotion regulation and distress tolerance. DBT offers concrete tools for managing intense feelings and improving day-to-day coping when impulses or anger feel overwhelming.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. David works with each person to match methods to their goals and preferences, and adjusts the plan as progress is made. The focus is on trying things that fit the person’s life and tracking what helps.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care more flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation for skills practice, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging suit quick check-ins or on-the-go support. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, caregiving, or daily routines while practicing CBT and DBT skills between sessions.
