About David

David Brand is a licensed professional clinical counselor who aims to help people when life feels overwhelming. He speaks plainly, listens closely, and works with individuals who are facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, or struggles with self-esteem and addiction. He begins by building a steady connection so someone can say what matters.

He pays attention to what is said and what is left unsaid. That makes it easier to name the problem and decide what to try next.

Background and approach

He draws on Existential ideas that look at meaning, values, and personal choice. He also uses practical methods from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy to teach skills for managing thoughts, emotions, and behavior. David studied education at the undergraduate level and brings a teacher’s clarity to sessions.

He is an Ohio LPCC - Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor - and has three years of professional experience in counseling. Sessions can focus on everyday pressures like sleep problems, parenting strain, or work stress. They can also address deeper hurts such as trauma, grief, or issues around intimacy and attachment.

He offers online sessions in English through video calls, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging. To begin, a person completes a short matching questionnaire and schedules sessions according to the listed process.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

David blends Existential Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in ways that fit everyday problems. Existential Therapy helps people look at values, meaning, and choice when life feels uncertain. It can be useful for questions about life purpose, isolation, and long-term direction. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck and taking action toward chosen values; it often helps with anxiety, depression, and coping with change.

Finding the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will listen to what matters most, try a method, and adjust based on how a person responds. Clients and therapist decide together whether to emphasize meaning-focused work, skills for emotion management, or a mix of both.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people see each other and work through emotional material. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth or comfort on camera is limited. Live chat and text messaging offer brief check-ins, skill practice, or support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, parenting, or busy days while keeping a consistent path forward.
