About David

David Sprouse is a licensed counselor who blends client-centered care with evidence-based techniques to help people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship concerns, trauma, and ADHD.

Background and approach

He holds LCPC and LPC credentials and draws on five years of focused counseling experience alongside a longer healthcare background to guide clients through practical challenges such as career and medical stressors, sleep and eating issues, and compassion fatigue. His approach emphasizes creating a nonjudgmental space where clients can explore feelings and make changes at their own pace.

Clients can expect a conversational, professional style that aims to put them at ease while working toward clear goals. David has specific experience with addiction services and past leadership in medication-assisted treatment programs, which informs his understanding of substance use and recovery.

He also addresses a wide range of secondary concerns including body image, caregiver stress, chronic pain, codependency, communication problems, and grief-related issues. David supports people as they consider next steps, offering practical strategies and empathy to help them pursue a more balanced, fulfilling life.

Using Evidence-Based Approaches in Online Care

Client-centered therapy focuses on creating an accepting environment where the client leads the conversation and the therapist offers empathy and support; it helps people clarify their values and build motivation for change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a structured method that identifies unhelpful thinking patterns and teaches practical skills to manage anxiety, mood, and behaviors. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centers on strengthening emotional awareness and connection to address relationship distress and attachment-related concerns.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process, and the therapist will work with each person to determine which methods best match their goals, preferences, and current challenges. That may mean combining elements from different approaches or adjusting techniques over time so therapy stays focused and useful.

Online therapy with options for video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility for people balancing work, family, or health needs. These formats make it easier to maintain regular sessions, revisit tools between appointments, and connect with a licensed professional from different locations within the stated service area.
