David Cardona, LPC

David Cardona is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas with 15 years of clinical experience helping people navigate depression, anxiety, grief, relationship struggles, family conflicts, and stress. He draws on a long history of service work prior to his counseling career, including 25 years as a Hospice Chaplain and Social Worker, which informs a compassionate, grounded approach to emotional and relational challenges.

He holds a Master of Health Science and a Master of Counseling Psychology and is an ordained Anglican Priest with a formal theological degree. This combination of clinical training and pastoral background supports a practice that respects clients’ beliefs and values, particularly for those seeking faith-informed or conservative counseling perspectives. His work emphasizes evidence-based techniques tailored to each person’s context and goals.

Cardona focuses on building a supportive therapeutic environment where clients can develop resilience, gain insight, and learn healthier emotional patterns. He takes a collaborative stance, walking alongside clients with empathy, professional expertise, and respect for their individual journeys. Outside of practice, he is married since New Year’s Eve 1978 and is a father and grandfather, which shapes his understanding of family life across generations.

Evidence-Based Support Online for Relationships and Mood

David Cardona uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that translate well to online formats. He applies brief, skills-focused approaches that help people identify and shift unhelpful thinking and coping patterns, which can reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression and improve day-to-day functioning. He also uses practical stress-management and emotion-regulation strategies that teach concrete tools for coping with overwhelm, grief, and life transitions.

In addition, his work addresses relationship and family dynamics by helping clients explore communication patterns, set healthy boundaries, and rebuild connection. These approaches aim to improve interactions and resolve conflict in ways that support long-term relationship health without losing sight of each person’s values and background.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process; David Cardona collaborates with each client to determine which techniques align best with their goals, needs, and preferences. Online sessions - whether video calls, phone appointments, live chat, or text-based messaging - offer flexibility to fit therapy into busy schedules and make support accessible across distances. Licensed professionals can adapt these methods effectively in virtual settings to help clients move toward greater stability and insight.
