About David

David Demorest brings a methodical, science-informed perspective to counseling grounded in nearly two decades of practice.

Background and approach

He draws on a varied professional background that includes advanced study in mental health counseling and prior work in biology, biochemistry, and radiochemistry, and he uses that foundation to understand the processes behind behavior and emotional challenges. David is an LPC with significant experience helping people address stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma, depression, ADHD, and related concerns.

He favors an eclectic, client-centered approach that begins with building a trusting working relationship and then collaboratively identifying target issues and a tailored treatment plan. Techniques he uses include cognitive behavioral approaches, mindfulness practices, solution-focused strategies, and hypnotherapy when appropriate, with the plan adapted as progress and new issues emerge.

David also has experience with biofeedback and neurofeedback as adjunctive tools for concerns such as anxiety, depression, and substance issues. Outside his clinical work he splits time between Boise and a mountain retreat south of Jackson Hole, and he brings life experience from extensive travel and outdoor pursuits into an empathetic, down-to-earth therapeutic style.

He accepts international clients and conducts sessions in English.

Approaches that guide online work and what to expect

David often integrates cognitive behavioral therapy and client-centered methods in online work. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, making it useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and some addictive behaviors. Client-centered therapy emphasizes building a trusting, nonjudgmental relationship and helping clients explore their own goals and values, which supports motivation and self-directed change.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and happens collaboratively. The therapist will discuss each option, consider the client's concerns and preferences, and adapt the plan as progress is made or new needs arise so that treatment remains focused and practical.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and accessibility. These formats make it easier to fit appointments into busy schedules, maintain continuity when travel or relocation occurs, and follow up between sessions when helpful. Licensed professionals can use these methods to deliver structured therapy, practical skills training, and ongoing support tailored to the client's objectives.
