About David

David Morris is an Ohio-based licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) with 27 years of experience. He focuses on helping people who are dealing with addictions, depression, anxiety, and relationship struggles. He aims to create a welcoming space where clients can speak honestly about difficult feelings without fear of judgment.

His approach centers on Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). In sessions he listens first, then works with the person to build practical steps that match their goals. He uses straightforward conversation and concrete tools to help manage stress, sleep problems, and mood swings.

David has long experience supporting people through life transitions and grief. He also addresses issues such as self-esteem, intimacy concerns, anger, and work-related stress. Longstanding concerns like bipolar symptoms, ADHD, and process addictions are part of his caseload as well.

Additional areas of focus include drug and alcohol problems, blended family concerns, fatherhood issues, hospice and end-of-life counseling, and intellectual disability-related matters. He draws on decades of practice to tailor sessions to what each person needs right now.

He invites people to take the first step when they are ready. In a typical session he listens, reflects, and helps set small, manageable goals. The work is collaborative and paced to each person’s comfort and needs.

Step 3

How therapeutic approaches shape online care

Client-Centered Therapy is based on listening and responding to each person without judgment. It focuses on understanding how someone feels and helping them set their own goals, which can help with relationship, self-esteem, and grief concerns.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, uses practical exercises and thought-focused techniques to change patterns that feed anxiety, depression, or addictive behaviors. It often includes simple homework like tracking thoughts or trying new coping skills between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they decide whether a Client-Centered approach, CBT, or a mix makes the most sense for the person’s situation.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, such as scheduling during a lunch break or avoiding travel time. It can also allow shorter check-ins or sessions that don’t require video when bandwidth is limited. Session formats are not specified here, so confirm the current options before booking to ensure they meet your needs.
