About David

David Hopkins is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, anger, grief, and depression. He communicates in straightforward, respectful language and aims to create a calm space for people to talk about what matters most to them.

He has worked in the mental health field since 2006 and has practiced as an LPC since 2016, bringing eight years of licensed clinical experience. He adapts conversation and plans to fit each person's needs instead of using a one-size-fits-all approach. That means sessions center on practical steps you can try between meetings.

David uses methods drawn from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts, build emotion regulation skills, and practice new behaviors. He often focuses on real-life problems like communication breakdowns, impulsivity, and feeling isolated.

Money and financial issues are listed among his focus areas, and he is willing to talk through the stress and decisions that money concerns can cause. He also addresses topics such as attachment wounds, caregiver strain, body image, and life purpose in straightforward terms.

Sessions are offered in English and are provided from Mississippi. He encourages people to take the first step by completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling according to therapist availability.

How CBT and DBT Can Work in Online Therapy

CBT helps people identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It often includes short exercises to try between sessions and works well for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns.

DBT focuses on building emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills. It gives clear tools for managing strong emotions and improving communication during tense moments.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That collaboration can include trying techniques from both CBT and DBT and adjusting the plan over time.

Confirm the specific online session options before booking, as the biography does not list formats. Online work can make scheduling easier and help sessions fit into a busy week. It can also allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, or options that avoid travel when life is hectic. Ask about the available session formats when you complete the matching questionnaire to choose what fits your routine.
