About David

David Routly is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) in Georgia with 18 years of experience. He works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, anger, depression, and relationship and intimacy-related issues. He also addresses sleep problems, parenting strain, self-esteem struggles, bipolar concerns, ADHD, and grief.

He favors practical, goal-focused sessions. He uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try new responses. He also draws on client-centered ways of listening and Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for emotional regulation when needed.

In sessions he talks through specific problems and helps set small, manageable steps. He aims to remove obstacles that get in the way of change. Work often includes practice between sessions to test what works in daily life.

David has spent nearly two decades supporting people through major life changes and recovery work. He pays attention to patterns that keep problems repeating and to practical steps that reduce their impact. He also brings approaches for processing traumatic memories when that is part of the work.

He provides services in Georgia and conducts sessions in English. Before booking, users should confirm current session options and scheduling details through the platform questionnaire and scheduling flow.

How his approaches translate to online sessions

David commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot patterns of thinking and behavior that cause distress, then practices specific skills to change them. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, addiction patterns, and sleep issues.

He also works from a client-centered stance, which focuses on careful listening and helping the person set their own goals. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are used when emotional regulation and coping strategies are needed; DBT offers concrete tools for handling strong feelings and improving communication.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. He collaborates with clients to choose which methods fit their goals and preferences, and adjusts plans based on how skills transfer into daily life.

The platform’s session formats should be confirmed before booking. Ask about available session types when completing the questionnaire. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and reduce travel time so sessions fit around work or caretaking duties.
