About David
David Sprouse is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) and a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with five years of licensed counseling experience. He practices in Virginia and works with adults facing stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, and related concerns such as ADHD, depression, and coping with life changes.
He also supports people dealing with family and parenting strain, eating and sleep problems, anger and low self-esteem, and issues around caregiving, chronic illness, and body image. Codependency and communication difficulties are listed among his additional focuses. He approaches these concerns directly and practically in conversation.
His background includes long experience in healthcare and several years working with addiction treatment. That history includes clinical and administrative roles in settings for people using medication-assisted treatment. He draws on that experience when addressing substance-related problems and their effects on daily life.
In sessions he uses client-centered work alongside Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, Mindfulness, and Narrative Therapy. Sessions are conversational and straightforward, with attention to thoughts, feelings, and behavior patterns that keep people stuck in people-pleasing or high-stress roles.
He keeps a casual but professional style to help clients talk more easily. To begin a first session, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule using the online options button. Costs vary by location and use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.
How sessions work
How David’s approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and reflecting back what matters to the client. In online sessions this looks like time to talk through priorities, feelings, and what feels most urgent. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and uses practical exercises to test new ways of responding to stress or cravings. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people notice and name emotional patterns that affect relationships and personal reactions, which can be explored during video or phone conversations.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will work with the client to identify which methods fit their goals and preferences. That collaboration means trying strategies, checking what helps, and adjusting the approach as needed rather than committing to one method from the start.
The biography does not specify which online session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find remote sessions helpful because they can fit appointments into workdays, reduce travel time, or choose a shorter phone check-in when that suits them better. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT exercises, mindfulness practices, and narrative reflection to an online setting so the work fits everyday life without needing an in-person visit.
