About David Diana

David Diana is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in South Carolina with more than 25 years of experience working with adults and teenagers. He often supports people who find themselves at a crossroads - times when feelings of depression, unhappiness, overwhelm, boredom, anxiety, or a sense of being stuck signal a need for change. David combines practical symptom relief with a focus on deeper, lasting transformation.

At the start of work together, he typically helps clients reduce immediate distress by offering new perspectives and tried exercises that build coping skills. Beyond initial relief, his practice aims to foster renewed meaning and personal empowerment so clients can engage more fully with life. He pays attention to the everyday stresses that, along with past experiences, shape the inner dramas people carry.

Through exploration of those inner dimensions and life callings, David guides clients toward clearer priorities and more meaningful action. His approach balances short-term tools and longer-term exploration so adults and teens can move past what limits them and live with greater direction and purpose.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

David Diana integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) into his online practice. ACT helps clients clarify personal values and learn ways to accept difficult thoughts and feelings while moving toward meaningful action - it is often useful for anxiety, depression, and situations that feel stagnating. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors through practical exercises and skills training - it can be especially helpful for stress, mood challenges, and day-to-day coping.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and is done collaboratively. David works with each person to assess needs, goals, and preferences, and then adapts methods so the work fits the client’s life and priorities. That collaboration helps tailor sessions to what will be most helpful in the short and long term.

Online therapy with David is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility and access. These options make it easier for adults and teens to fit therapy into busy schedules, maintain continuity when life shifts, and receive support from licensed professionals in ways that match their communication style and availability.
