David Morris

David Morris is an Ohio licensed professional counselor with 27 years of experience. He focuses on helping people facing addiction, anger, anxiety, depression, and relationship stress. He aims to create a straightforward and nonjudgmental space where people can bring hard topics and get practical help.

He uses a client-centered approach that keeps the person’s priorities first. That means sessions focus on the concerns the person brings and move at a pace that feels manageable. He also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which helps identify unhelpful thinking and build new coping skills.

David has worked across a wide range of concerns, including grief, trauma and abuse, sleeping problems, self-esteem, and career transitions. He also supports people dealing with process addictions and substance-related issues. His background includes long-term clinical work in Ohio settings, giving him experience with both short-term and ongoing challenges.

Sessions are meant to be practical and goal-oriented. David helps people set small, clear steps they can try between meetings and then reviews what worked. He emphasizes direct conversation, problem solving, and real-world strategies rather than long lectures.

People who contact him often want help managing strong emotions, reconnecting in relationships, or finding steadier routines after major life changes. To begin, he invites individuals to consider what they most want to change and to take the next step toward scheduling a session.

How his approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy puts the person’s goals first and focuses sessions on what matters most to them. Online sessions using this approach still center the person’s priorities, with the therapist listening closely and adapting the pace and topics to fit each meeting.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches ways to spot unhelpful thoughts and try practical behavior changes. Online CBT typically uses short skill-building exercises and clear homework that can be practiced between sessions to address anxiety, mood, sleep, and anger concerns.

Finding the right approach is a joint process. The therapist will work with each person to decide whether client-centered work, CBT, or a mix will best match their needs, goals, and preferences. That choice can change as work progresses and new priorities emerge.

Confirm the available session options before booking, as formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It can also let people use different tools in sessions, such as worksheets and real-time skill practice, to support steady progress.
