About David
David Demorest is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Idaho with 19 years of clinical experience. He helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression, relationship and family concerns, grief, eating and anger issues, career changes, bipolar challenges, ADHD, and coping with life changes.
David studied mental health counseling and also holds a master's in biology/biochemistry. Before counseling he spent many years working as a radiochemist and in research. That scientific background informs how he looks at behavior and mental health concerns.
He uses a practical, collaborative process. First he focuses on building a working relationship. Then he helps clients identify specific problems and makes a treatment plan to address them. Plans are revised as issues arise and progress is reviewed at regular points.
His approach draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and client-centered methods, along with solution-focused and mindfulness ideas. He also uses hypnotherapy as one of several tools. He may use biofeedback and neurofeedback where appropriate to support treatment for anxiety, depression, or addiction.
If an issue needs a different type of care, he may refer to another counselor who focuses on that area. David lives in Boise and spends time in the mountains; outside work he enjoys skiing, canoeing, fly fishing, and time in nature.
How his approaches translate to online work
David commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Hypnotherapy in session. CBT focuses on noticing and testing unhelpful thoughts and habits to create different responses and is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress. Client-centered work emphasizes listening and collaboration so clients can set goals and explore what matters to them. Hypnotherapy offers guided relaxation and focused attention that some people find helpful for cravings, anxiety, or habit change.Choosing an approach is part of the work together. He will help clients identify which methods fit their goals and comfort level and may adjust the plan as progress is made. That choice is collaborative and revisited when needed.
The biography does not list specific online formats, so confirm current session options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a day, allow work with a therapist from another location, and reduce travel time. Some approaches translate well to shorter check-ins or to sessions without video if a quieter setting or lower bandwidth is needed. Ask about available formats and scheduling when you complete the matching questionnaire and set your first session.
