About David
David Steinman is an LPCC and an LPC with four years of professional experience. He practices in South Carolina and focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, motivation, self-esteem, and depression. He speaks English and works with adults who want practical, structured help.
He uses clear, goal-focused sessions that aim to identify unhelpful thoughts and habits. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is one of the approaches he uses to help clients notice thought patterns and test different responses. He also draws on client-centered methods to listen and prioritize the client's perspective.
David incorporates elements from Dialectical Behavior Therapy and mindfulness to help people manage intense emotions and stay grounded in the moment. Motivational interviewing and solution-focused techniques are used when clients want to clarify goals and take small, concrete steps toward them. Sessions are organized and action-oriented rather than open-ended.
In practice he often helps people address communication problems and challenges that come up during divorce and separation. He also supports those dealing with blended family issues and other mood disorders. His approach emphasizes practical skills people can try between sessions.
Clients who choose him begin by outlining immediate concerns and practical goals. Early sessions typically include tracking patterns, identifying a few testable changes, and planning manageable next steps. Progress is reviewed regularly to adjust the plan as needed.
How his approaches translate to online sessions
CBT focuses on identifying thoughts and behaviors that contribute to distress. In online sessions this can mean tracking specific patterns between meetings, trying short behavioral experiments, and reviewing results together. Client-centered therapy centers the client's perspective and priorities, so the therapist listens closely and follows the client's lead when setting goals.Dialectical Behavior Therapy supplies concrete skills for managing strong emotions and improving emotional regulation. Online work can include practicing emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills with guidance and role practice during sessions. The therapist will work collaboratively to test which approach or mix of methods fits the client's needs and goals, adjusting plans as progress is observed.
The practical benefits of online sessions include easier scheduling and fitting appointments into work or family routines. Some formats can reduce travel time or allow shorter check-ins when needed. The original profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Sessions aim to help clients practice techniques between meetings and make therapy fit everyday life.
