David Yoder, LPC

David Yoder is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Missouri with six years of clinical experience. He focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, relationship concerns, and other life transitions. He also works with issues like grief, sleep trouble, ADHD, and codependency. Sessions are described in everyday terms to make the process understandable and direct.

He describes counseling as a person-centered practice, which means he starts by listening and following what the client brings. From there he uses practical tools drawn from several approaches. He names Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) among options he often brings into sessions.

In conversation he aims to help people identify what they want to change and take concrete steps toward that picture of life. That might include learning new coping skills, adjusting unhelpful thinking patterns, or practicing ways to set limits with others. He frames these as skills people can try and adapt to their daily routines.

His background includes work with trauma and addiction, and he lists a range of methods such as hypnotherapy and existential therapy that he sometimes uses. He says every person’s experience is unique, so the mix of methods changes with the person’s needs and goals. He prefers clear, paced conversations rather than clinical jargon.

Sessions aim to be straightforward and practical. People who struggle with people-pleasing, trouble saying no, or living around others’ drinking or moods may find the focus useful. He offers services in English and practices in Missouri.
