About David

Dr. David Wiggins is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) practicing in Virginia with four decades of clinical experience.

Background and approach

Over his 40-year career he has worked with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, trauma and abuse, depression, and concerns with concentration and memory, including attention-related difficulties such as ADHD. He also brings experience supporting clients coping with chronic illness, cancer, caregiver stress, chronic pain and disability, and workplace or life-purpose difficulties.

He approaches care with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, shaping treatment to match each person’s distinct needs and goals. He emphasizes practical skill-building so clients can address problems and improve daily functioning.

Dr. Wiggins views counseling as a collaborative process and aims to help individuals take meaningful steps forward, recognizing that beginning therapy often requires courage and commitment.

Evidence-Based Techniques and Online Flexibility



Many licensed professionals use cognitive-behavioral approaches that focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and practicing new strategies; this method can be useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and attention-related difficulties. Mindfulness-based strategies are another common option that teach present-moment awareness and self-regulation skills to reduce reactivity and improve concentration in daily life. Both approaches emphasize practical skills clients can apply between sessions to manage symptoms and improve functioning.

Determining the best therapeutic approach is part of the collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to explore goals, preferences, and what feels most effective, adapting methods over time as needs change. This partnership helps ensure treatment is aligned with the client’s values and real-world priorities.

Online therapy options such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging provide flexibility for scheduling and make it easier to maintain continuity of care from different locations. These formats can support regular check-ins, skill practice, and ongoing work between sessions while fitting into varied routines and time constraints.
