About David

David Mitchell is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) with 10 years of experience. He practices from North Carolina and works with adults facing stress, anxiety, addiction issues, relationship concerns, depression, and life changes. He also lists codependency and related problems among his focus areas.

David helps people talk through practical problems. He listens for what gets in the way of daily functioning and looks for steps people can try between sessions. He has experience with housing instability and drug and alcohol addiction, and with supporting people who live around someone else’s drinking or crisis behaviors.

He brings experience working with men's concerns such as anger, compulsive sexual behaviors, and affairs. He also has experience with older adults and with veterans or armed forces issues. He aims to clarify complicated problems and to be encouraging while people sort out next steps.

David integrates faith when clients want that included. He describes faith as something some clients find helpful to discuss alongside mental health concerns. He trained in seminary and says spiritual topics can be part of sessions when requested by the client.

He emphasizes practical collaboration. Sessions focus on identifying manageable changes, improving communication, and reducing behaviors that cause distress. People who want a straightforward conversational approach and occasional spiritual discussion may find his style fits their needs.

How sessions work

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

David lists evidence-based therapeutic techniques as his clinical foundation. Cognitive-behavioral approaches focus on changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns to reduce anxiety, depression, and impulsive actions. This can help with panic, low mood, and habits linked to substance use. Brief problem-solving and practical coping skills teach clear steps to manage stress and life transitions, useful when housing, work, or relationship stressors feel overwhelming.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss your goals, try methods that fit your situation, and adjust methods based on what helps you most. That means sessions can shift between skill practice, talking through difficult events, and addressing spiritual questions when the client requests it.

The biography does not list which online formats are used. Please confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-in appointments when needed, and remove travel time. Therapists in general can also choose phone contacts when bandwidth is limited or video is not preferable. These practical benefits help sessions fit into everyday life without promising a specific format.
