About David
David Diana is a licensed professional counselor with more than 20 years of experience in South Carolina. He helps people who feel stuck, overwhelmed, anxious, or depressed and are looking for clearer direction. His approach aims to ease immediate symptoms while opening the door to longer term change.
David begins by listening to what matters most to each person. He uses practical exercises and conversational work to shift unhelpful patterns and relieve distress.
How David works
Early sessions often focus on coping tools that bring relief and momentum. Beyond symptom relief, David looks for deeper meaning and renewed purpose. He explores how past experiences shape current feelings and behaviors.
That work can help someone reconnect with values and make different choices in daily life. Sessions are approachable and straightforward. He balances problem-solving with reflective exploration so people can both feel better and learn more about themselves.
Therapy is paced to fit each person's needs and goals. People turn to David for help with stress, anxiety, grief, self-esteem, depression, addictions, relationship and family concerns, parenting issues, anger, career questions, and midlife or life-purpose struggles. He also works with trauma and mood-related challenges, using methods suited to each person’s situation.

Online support options
Approaches to online therapy and how they help
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on clarifying your values and taking small steps toward them. It helps when people feel stuck, anxious, or unsure what matters most. Client-Centered Therapy centers on listening and empathy so people feel heard and can find their own answers. It is useful for rebuilding self-esteem and making personal decisions.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. Over a few sessions the plan can be adjusted based on what helps most and what feels comfortable.
Online sessions are available as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to match lifestyles and schedules. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and shared exercises. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to use video. Live chat and text messaging suit short check-ins, brief coaching, or times when writing helps clarify thoughts. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, caregiving, or travel.
