About David

David Brand is an Ohio-based licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) who helps people navigate stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, relationship concerns, and a wide range of life challenges.

Background and approach

He draws on a background in education and years of hands-on practice to create a supportive, instructive environment where clients can explore both obvious struggles and the quieter, unspoken patterns shaping their lives. His work often emphasizes building rapport, offering gentle challenge, and teaching practical skills that clients can use between sessions.

Bringing personal experience as a husband and father, he understands the realities of family life and the tensions that can arise from parenting, caregiving, and shifting roles. David integrates evidence-based approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, and acceptance and commitment strategies to address issues like trauma, addictions, grief, impulsivity, and compassion fatigue.

He aims to join clients in a collaborative process that prioritizes clear goals, emotional understanding, and real-world tools for coping and growth.

Online Approaches that Meet Real-World Needs

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to clarify their values and take committed action even when difficult thoughts or feelings arise; it helps with struggles involving avoidance, stress, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, offering practical tools for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and impulsivity. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can be useful for intense emotions, anger, and relationship difficulties.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist works with clients to match methods to individual needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting techniques as the work unfolds so clients can see what helps most. This shared decision making helps tailor sessions to each person's current challenges and long-term aims.

Online therapy sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility around work, family, and daily life. These formats make it easier to fit consistent sessions into a busy schedule and allow clients to access licensed professionals from wherever they are in Ohio. The variety of options supports different communication styles and practical constraints while preserving a focus on skills, insight, and measurable progress.
