David Diana, LPC

David Diana is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in South Carolina with 20 years of professional experience helping people navigate pivotal moments in their lives. He frequently works with clients who arrive at a crossroads feeling stuck, anxious, overwhelmed, bored, or depressed and who want practical ways to move forward. David blends symptom-focused work with deeper exploration, beginning with tools and exercises to reduce distress while also attending to long-term growth and renewed purpose.

His approach supports clients in uncovering the underlying patterns and narratives that shape day-to-day reactions, so they can engage life with greater clarity and agency. Through thoughtful reflection and tailored exercises, he helps people discover new perspectives, regain motivation, and build skills for coping with stress, grief, relationship challenges, and life transitions. Over time the aim is not only to ease immediate symptoms but to foster meaningful change that aligns with each person’s values and aspirations.

David’s practice emphasizes empowerment and meaning, guiding clients to explore inner dimensions and callings that often lie beneath habitual responses. He works collaboratively to create a therapy path that addresses both practical concerns and deeper questions, supporting movement toward a more engaged and purposeful life.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Sessions

David commonly integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) into his work. ACT focuses on clarifying personal values and learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to actions that align with what matters most, which can be helpful for stress, anxiety, and life transitions. CBT emphasizes identifying and gently challenging unhelpful thought patterns and building practical skills to change behaviors, often supporting work on mood concerns, anxiety, and coping strategies.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. David works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adapting techniques over time so the work feels personally meaningful and effective.

Offering video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging gives clients flexibility to engage in therapy around work, family, and life demands. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, access support from different locations, and choose the format that best supports each person’s comfort and routine.
